Arguably more famous as the host of the Crystal Maze than as a voice in Phineas and Ferb. But okay.

He was also Mr. Hand in Dark City.

It's almost as though actors play multiple roles in their lifetime.

I fucking loved him as Mr. Hand. When he gets the John Murdoch memory upload he starts doing Rufus Sewell's mannerisms and it's honestly a little uncanny. Great performance.

Criminally underrated performance in a critically underrated film.

Condescending much?

Only on my good days. On my bad days I'm actually quite the asshole, to be honest.

I mean he was also the creator of rocky horror

Oh of course, not to take that away from him. I just figured mentioning his performing role helped show the contrast.

I mean, the mom from Adventures of Pete & Pete had a bit part as a newscaster in Frankenhooker. Actors get around.

The younger of the two Peres was in GTA5 too.

Also did anyone ever find out who Sandy was?

The younger of the two Petes was in GTA5 too.

It was definitely nice to see Danny Tamberelli get some steady work and income from that.

Man, I haven't thought about Frankenhooker in a long time

You don't think about Super Crack regularly? Damn.

I totally forgot Super Crack, and now I wonder what my life has become.

Nice. The scenes where he just nods and smiles at Phineas and Ferb's inventions play a little differently in that context.

That's fun!

O'Brien identifies himself as third gender and uses he/him pronouns.

The citation for that is both illuminating and poorly done by 2013 standards, BBC has always sucked lol.
