Sniveling little weasel with the unfortunate name of Percy Wetmore.  played by Doug Hutchison in THE GREEN MILE My choice for the worst here. This actor has a lot of credits but I cannot recall having noticed him in anything else. I think his anonymity (to me) is part of the reason he is so disturbingly loathsome. I do not have a voice in my head reassuring me "Don't get too upset, London, he is just an actor". Because I do not "see" him as an actor he is like a real person and his deeds are like real deeds. Doug Hutchison, the other credit that I know him from without consulting IMDB is The X-Files season 1, he played Eugene Tooms in two separate episodes that season. He was so creepy, I think they had to bring him back. His character met his end under an escalator that I used to use frequently at the City Centre Mall in Vancouver. |

Watching The Seven-Ups (1973) recently I was reminded how Richard Lynch always played the villain, he really had the face for it!    |

Lebowskidoo 🦞Richard Lynch YES! Often a villain. Click the link and read the trivia to read how he got that villainy look. Quite a story. Saddens me to learn that he has died. I always enjoyed seeing him ! Brief quotes I particularly liked : [on playing villains] You always got to find the humanity in the character, no matter how bad he is. [2009 comment on being typecast as villains] Typecasting set in for me the day I beat the shit out of Al Pacino [in Scarecrow (1973)]. Typecasting set in with The Seven-Ups (1973). I could have stopped, but I didn't have much of a choice in that. The parts were presented to me, and I wanted to work as an actor. Most of those parts were the antagonist, so in the end, I established myself as a Hollywood heavy. However, I know other actors who chose not to do something like that, and they have had very marginal careers. I've had a career. I've survived attrition, and I've been able to work for the better part of thirty-five plus years.

Just watched Sam Whiskey (1969) as part of my Burt-A-Thon this week, and Anthony James appeared in a small role. No doubt we are all familiar with his face, he's played the baddie for most of his career, not even sure if he's ever played anything else. I know him best from the movies High Plains Drifter, In the Heat of the Night, Return From Witch Mountain and Unforgiven. Also, on TV shows like V, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Gunsmoke, Bonanza and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He quit acting, Unforgiven was his last movie, and now devotes himself to painting full time. His art continues to be exhibited and he wrote his autobiography, "Acting My Face."        |
