#actor meme 1

naturally

Put an actor or actress in my ask and I’ll give you:A. First role I saw them in 

Scarecrow and Mrs King! And god ARE THEY GOOD ROLES OR WHAT. I still want a spinoff starring Martinet tbh

B. Favorite performance

This is going to sound like total crow, but I swear to god he has a couple of scenes in Texas (yes, his 80s soap opera which otherwise sucks) which are SO GOOD because dANG was the writing they gave him terrible. He does a very good job with it.

I also really really like his performance in Gotham for some reason? Also his ep of The Equalizer has a lot of very good scenes

But also take into account he has played Hamlet, King Lear, etc, etc, etc so TV is probably not the best frame of reference for his performances lmao.

C. Favorite role they appear in

kl;sadjflasdfjl I can’t choose between Niles and Moriarty, and y’ALL KNOW THIS.

D. Last role I watched them in

I’m not counting skipping through K-9 okay? I’m counting The Prestige which involves a Real Moriarty Look(tm) and it’s also a good movie lmfao

E. If I were forced to pick a weaker performance

Talk about the duality of man, this would also I think be some of his performances in Texas, because that boy is giving his best but sometimes it’s just Not Enough.

F. Underappreciated performance

There’s not enough talk about Moriarty in the ST fandom and that is A SIN

G. Role you haven’t seen that you’d most like to

I’m currently on the hunt for a 1985 movie called Chain Letters, by Mark Rappaport. If you have it hit me the fuck up tbh.

There’s also this 1970 movie which I’ve found VERY little info about called Pigeons (or The Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker) which I’m mildly curious about.

H. Least favorite role they played

Put an actor or actress in my ask and I’ll give you:A. First role I saw them in

Babylon 5 ofc! and GOD did I hate his guts at first LMFAO :’)

B. Favorite performance

This one’s both a toughie, and might come as a surprise. Even though the obvious answer (and a very tempting one lol) is basically the entirety of Intersections in Real Time, I think I have to go with the majority of his acting in The Macahans, if anything because he was SUPER young in that TV Movie, and barely had any acting experience, and all in all it’s A FANTASTIC performance.

C. Favorite role they appear in

I can’t choose this one, I love a lot of his roles too much lmfao. Sheridan was the first though, and I’m sticking with him. He also has more screentime than both of his Tron roles, and the show allowed for more Good Acting Moments than SMK, tbh.

Honorable mentions for his role in The Outer Limits and in Tales from the Crypt, because both of those are p fun.

D. Last role I watched them in

He had a Hallmark TV Movie this summer and I watched it because of course I did and it sucked because of course it did.

E. If I were forced to pick a weaker performance

His first TV role is pretty atrocious, tbh. He had a bunch of doozies in the 80s, too. Unforgivable ones would be some Moments(tm) in Young Blades, which is like 10 years old. Also he’s pretty bad in The Perfect Nanny, though with some saving grace in the way that that whole TV Movie is fucking bad.

F. Underappreciated performance

I think this one would be his role in The Macahans, absolutely.

G. Role you haven’t seen that you’d most like to

I’ve sorta forgotten about most of Bruce’s imdb page that I don’t already have in my inventory... Idk, The Last Convertible was a movie that looked pretty cool.

H. Least favorite role they played

Where do I start lmfao. He has some pretty atrocious (as in badly written though not necessarily that badly acted) characters along the way, ofc, and as every 30 year old in 80s TV, he played some really really REALLY bad people.

Besides that, I think his character in Heroes absolutely sucked. It was lazy and half-made and just generally Bad.
