I was watching the X-Files last night and saw a dude who looked very familiar. Suder from Voyager. in X-Files he's playing a psychopathic serial killer who is psychic. In Voyager he's a betazoid psychopath. And I sent it to cm0002 like "lol this is funny" and he said I wonder if he's been in anything recent. So I looked him up.
I thought he was just some random dude who was typecast. An extra. He's hollywood royalty. Why? Because he's known for playing one of THE serial killers. He's the fucking voice of Chucky and had been WELL before X Files and that Voyager episode...

Ah, yes. I was never a big fan of horror movies. Brad will always be Grima Wormtounge to me. That or Brother Edward, a convicted and mind wiped serial killer, in Babylon 5 S3E4 "Passing Through Gethsemane". He's a great character actor.

Wow. I had no idea that Suder and Wormtongue were the same actor. That’s crazy

He was the doctor on Deadwood too.

This is the role that made him an icon for me. I knew him from tons of his creep roles. For him to play such a stand-up dude, and so well, was revalatory.

Yeah, he was really good on that show and it's a great show all around.

Brad Dourif is a master of playing a bad guy. He was also in Fringe, some of the new Halloween movies, and the questionable newer bad Lieutenant movie.

Love Brad Dourif. Watch this YouTube video if you want to learn more about his career from a brilliant storyteller.

You should watch _One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest _ from before he was typecast as a creep. Fuck Nurse Ratched!

Louise Fletcher said that she always thought of Winn as "Nurse Ratched in space."

He played the role of the wacko doctor in Alien: Resurrection. Nice and creepy right up until the mutant bit his head off.
VerseAndVermin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 275d
He was the doctor in Deadwood as well. I believe he was largely a likable person iirc in that. Oh and he being freaky over an alien in one of the lesser Alien flicks. His daughter also plays in the Chucky universe as well.

Looked at his IMDB. Man's been working steady since the 70s!

Also, I had no idea how many Chucky movies existed.
