Those of you who are also major Princess Bride fans might already know this; the convey the extremely emotional scene where Inigo Montoya confronted the evil duke who murdered his father when he was only a kid, Mandy drew on his own personal pain over the loss of his father to cancer. When his character states that he wants his father back in respond to the duke saying that he'll give Inigo anything he wants, Mandy was thinking the same thing.
CM got to Patinkin because while the corpses he stands over to do his scenes are just actresses in make-up, the subject that they portrayed so graphically, are real. I laughed off "There's No Place Like Home" because the unsub was so unrealistic, but god, the sight of the women being tortured in "In Remembrance of Things Past" got to me because I know, right this moment, it's happening for real in some unsub's secret place somewhere.
Five years ago, the Gube stated: "I still can't believe it. He really liked everybody, really liked the crew. The subject matter in the end I think wore him out. I think he felt ‘I don't want to die on this TV show, looking at dismal dead prostitutes'. He wanted to die singing on Broadway."
