The Tom Noonan.

The great (and quirky) character actor Tom Noonan, in 2 of his finest performances: in Wolfen; and in The X-Files episode Paper Hearts. There might be some Robocop 2 activities, as well. Perhaps also a jot of 1986’s Manhunter. Ok, 4 of his finest.

The Mr. Cannon.

**The seemingly invincible Nielsen, and even the record-settingly acerbic Roy Scheider, succumb, in the end, to the resolute Detective.**

The indomitable, dogged, yet supremely courteous Frank Cannon (William Conrad) is unlikely to swerve, even momentarily, from his pursuit of the truth.

Breaking Bad: The One Who Knocks.

Great moments of boldness, discomfort, schadenfreude, vengeance, grandiosity, and (occasionally misplaced) supreme confidence, are here presented from the nearly mythical television drama Breaking Bad. Featured is actor Bryan Cranston, as Walter White, with Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring, and Dean Norris as Hank.

Though the series is quite, quite dark, moments of ironic humour are not uncommon, and are essential to the balancing act that elevates the show to the uppermost echelons.
