The mighty and imposing actor Peter Boyle portrays reluctant prognosticator Clyde Bruckman in The X-Files.
Mr. Boyle truly turns on the jets, and was nominated for {and won} an Emmy for this indelible performance. Power to spare.
The brilliant character actor Pruitt Taylor Vince gives an extremely memorable performance as serial killer/lobotomist Gerry Schnauz in this moving {and eerie} episode of The X-Files.
The notorious and ultra-elusive serial killer dubbed {much to the displeasure of Grissom} βThe Strip Stranglerβ is eventually tracked down by the CSI MΓ¦stro, despite the βhelpβ of the FBI. In this powerful scene, Gil confronts one Syd Booth Goggle (once considered a minor irritant, at bestβ¦), who turns out to be the deadly predator. A risky venture: no backup, and close quarters.
Slightly off-kilter character actor Doug Hutchison was THE *perfect* choice to play CSI Nick Stokes’s rather creepy antagonist in this episode of CSI, season 2, episode 19.
Actor Matt O’Toole gives a remarkable, bravura, iconic performance as serial killer Paul Millander, invoking dread, menace, yet some sympathy (of a sort…) as well. Highly intelligent, and courteous, with a traumatic youth-hood, to put it mildly, Millander nonetheless is that most threatening of characters; always he seems to have the advantage.
Three of the Highest Echelon: The Ultimate Computer; Where No Man Has Gone Before; and The Man Trap. Some prose to follow. See which it pertains to!
Gary Mitchell leaves little doubt of his seriousnessβhe is most certainly *not* jokingβwith Lee Kelso. He then ruminates, with ever-increasing wonder, about his newly found, awesome, and steadily burgeoning powers. Gary Lockwood delivers a masterful performance as the metamorphosing Mitchell.
Towering genius Dr. Richard Daystrom, in the midst of further un-understanding, plans to βshowβ Leonard McCoyβplans to show everyone, in factβand delivers, in his stentorian manner, a powerfully declamatory oration, all the while teetering on the very brink of sanity/insanity.
In trying earnestly to persuade the well-nigh legendary (and Great) M5 Multitronic Unit (which displays its textbook Uncompromising Stance) to do, and to not do, certain things, the mighty and almost eternal Dr. Richard Daystrom begins an ill-fated rumination on his life and work, and the all-too-prevalent injustices therein. A last, desperate, titanic, paradigmatic, Γ¦on-defining manifestation of wild grandiosity brings with it predictable results.
Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Captain Kirk (William Shatner) employ a potent cocktail of chicanery and subterfuge to subdue the solitude-defending archaeologist, Professor Robert Crater (Alfred Ryder). They proceed to interrogate him vigorously, mainly/entirely concerning the whereabouts of his wife.
