    Brad Dourif with an F.

    He also played Grima Wormtongue in LOTR, the secret aide of Sarumon

    He was also one of the military scientists in Alien: Resurrection, so there’s a pretty good chance he was a sociopathic space murderer in that one, too.

    Edit:

    Clearly this guy…

    …is not in a good place, mentally.

      He’s one of my very favourite actors. Everyone needs to watch Deadwood.

    Holy crap! I thought I recognized him in B5, and later on Voyager, I had totally forgotten he was the Harkonnen Mentat in Dune. He did a fantastic job the both latter roles, I don’t think he was fleshed out enough in Dune

    It must be weird being typecast as the “quiet serial killer.” Like you just exude so much quiet serial killer energy that’s all people see you as. Because he has been that character in much more. These just happen to be the times that character was in space!

      And she is phenomenal in that role. Easily the best actor in the show (sorry Elijah Wood).

    Easily one of the best “that guy” in Hollywood. He shows up everywhere and I’ve never seen a bad performance.

    I’ll go my grave believing that he was the true main character of One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest.

    Another character actor that I would recognize anywhere instantly (“Huh, it’s that guy again.”) and yet I’ve never known his name til just now. There’s so many people like this that seem to show up in all the sci-fi series whose names I never seem to know.

    He is also the voice of Chucky in 90% of the Child’s Play franchise.

    I really loved his character in Voyager. It was really interesting seeing a psychopath who was aware of his tendencies and knew he shouldn’t be around other people.
