He was so evil in HBO series "Oz."

 

 


@Highlands72

 

I like to think of him in Whiplash, then think of him in the Farmers Insurance commercials.  I have a bit of a crush maybe.


@just bee I agree. He was so, so bad in Oz. I also only try to think of him in Whiplash, Farmers and my favorite, The Closer. He was great in that role.


@Coquille

 

I watched Counterpart and am looking forward to Season 2 in December.  I enjoyed seeing him tackle a dual role.

@just bee I didn't know about that series. I'm going to watch it. Thanks. I think he's underrated as an actor.

I try to avoid getting involved in series TV, but I had to watch this one.

Re: Some of Your Favorite Character Actors

@just bee. There are so few good shows on tv, that if there's a good series I'm happy. I got into The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The first few episodes I questioned but then really liked it. Who knows what the next season will bring. I find that some series start out well, then deflate.

I'm looking forward to watching Counterpart. Was he intense or sedate in the role, as the character?

Eleanor Parker

I think she would be considered a character actress.

Both!  He plays two very different characters.

Agnes Moorehead from Bewitched.  When watching movies on Turner Classic movies she is in quite a few.

Eve Arden she was also in many movies.  Nice question. Thanks.Smiley Happy
