thehefnerOh rock, Brad Dourif was on LAW AND ORDER tonight (thanks for the heads-up, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gnort!
The script itself was a bit dubious, but Dourif was excellent as always. I found myself cheering when the single tear rolled down his face. I realized that's kind of his trademark; really intense acting with a single tear shed in one or both eyes. He did it in ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, he did it in EXORCIST III, he did in it in the excellent X-Files episode "Beyond the Sea," he did it in LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS as Wormtongue, and I'm fairly certain he did it in BABYLON 5. I wonder if Chucky the killer doll ever cried?
If he were more famous, we'd totally have "Brad Dourif tears" montages on YouTube. Any other instances come to mind, Dourif fans?
God, can someone please make THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS movie already so Dourif can play elderly Joker? Especially after what Heath Ledger seems to be doing, Brad Dourif would be absolutely fucking chilling. "Batman. Darling."
But who'd be old Batman? Mickey Rourke? And what about bald Harvey Dent? In any case, I call Sam Elliot for Jim Gordon!
Speaking of Harvey Dent and awesome character actors, I recently have added a new level of pipe dream to my Harvey Dent novel saga.
It seems that Richard Moll (Bull from NIGHT COURT and voice of Harvey/Two-Face on BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES) pretty much works for scale these days, doing low budget movies, short films, and web shows. I'm assuming it's a personal choice on his part, but then again, I wonder how many roles there are for a huge guy like him?
Well, in either case... it got me thinking that maybe, a few years down the line when I've edited the thing to a place of satisfaction... mayhaps I could get Richard Moll to perform the Harvey Dent novel on tape.
(Yes, yes,bloo_mountain, I'll track down Mark Hamill and try to get him to do a cameo as well; at that point, shit, why don't I just go and get Bob Hastings and Kevin Conroy to play Jim and Bruce and I can just relive my entire childhood. I'm cool with that.)
Whether or not I can ever get DC to publish the Harvey Dent novel, the thought of Richard Moll performing the entire book from Harvey's perspective(s)... I don't care if it's fanboy wankery, it gives me chills.
Hey, if some film school brat can get Adam West, Mark Hamill, Courtney Thorne Smith, and Dick Van Dyke to voice a short animated Batman film, and ifentropicalia can hire the lead singer of the Verve Pipe to come perform at her home, why the hell not?
