Brad Dourif on L&O and I dream of Bull the Bald Bailiff

[thehefner]

Oh rock, Brad Dourif was on LAW AND ORDER tonight (thanks for the heads-up, gnortThe script itself was a bit dubious, but Dourif was excellent as always. I found myself cheering when the single tear rolled down his face. I realized that's kind of his trademark; really intense acting with a single tear shed in one or both eyes. He did it in ONE FLEW OVER

Don't forget Dourif in Deadwood and I'm sure he cried a bit before he died in Dune or Alien Resurrection.

Oh my god, you know, I think you're right. I think he did cry in the moment of ultimate what-the-fuckery when the Alien/human baby is born and he delivered the immortal (Joss Whedon scripted) brain-breaking line, "You are a beautiful... beautiful... butterfly."

Brain breaking??? It freakin' ate my brain like the human/alien Hybrid did ol' Dr. Gediman... Weelllll, not as much as the Ripley "fork/fuck" exchange consumed my cranium.

Looking at IMDB, forgot the guy played a murderer AGAIN on Voyager over the span of three episodes... redeeming himself in the end (something that show never did for itself.)

I think I saw one of those episodes! I bet he did cry as well! Okay, so EXORCIST III, X-FILES, and VOYAGER, he played killers in prison cells, that's another motif! God, the guy out-Lecters Lecter.

Last One of "the Brad" crying....

As Sam in Spontaneous Combustion... straight to cable horrendousness...
