Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true. Jerry Lee Lewis was the devil. Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden I found myself in love with the world, and there was only one thing for me to do, was ding-a-ding-dang my dang-a-long-ling-long....
I didn’t realize it was him until a few years ago I stumbled on the first Child’s Play movie on some random channel and that couple minutes at the beginning you see him do the ritual. I was like 7-8 years old the first time I saw that movie and did not remember it was him. One of those talented actors you don’t realize is in SO MANY movies playing roles perfectly. Like Gary Oldman sneaking up on me realizing how many roles he’s played so versatility.
He's always cast as a villain (and he's an AMAZING villain), but i think this is his best role ever. Doc Cochrane is the ultimate Switzerland. And he's so empathetic, and still giving shit to both sides, especially Swearengen, he's a timid guy with balls of steel, somehow, and he pulls it off. I can't think of a better acted character. He takes what is on paper "oh, come on!" And makes it 100% believable.
There is a point, when Rev. Smith is experiencing his problem, that Doc Cochrane stands up to Al and calls him out. I like to think that Al was chagrined being spoken to (rightly) that way.
So soft and tender with the likes of Sophia (the Norwegian girl whose parents are murdered) but so brutal with others. I always laugh when I think of when he's inspecting the prostitutes at the Gem "when you giggle you leak piss"
There's a lot of LOTR trivia floating around, but I think my favourite bit was how he stayed fully in character for the entire filming process, and once it was done snapped back from the Wormtongue persona so hard Peter Jackson thought he was faking his actual voice once he stopped putting the accent on.
Yay! :) I only realized it when I saw the Cuckoo’s nest gif on this post too. :D I watched that movie such a long-long time ago and l didn’t recognize a young Brad Dourif back then. It’s cool bc their name alliterates similarly too (Billy Bibbit and Bernie Bethel).
Brad Dourif is one of those few actors where when they're doing literally anything at all they're highly entertaining. The Exorcist sequel Legion is one of the best movies ever made and he carries that film.
Funnily enough, you can often find it just called Legion, as that was the title of the book and the writer/director did not want it to be labeled as a sequel to the Exorcist, especially after Exorcist II was one of the worst movies ever made. Not even James Earl Jones could save that movie.
Yeah that movie was... yeah. All I remember are an evil ice cream man and an old lady crawling on the ceiling. Ironically that second one is in Legion (1990) too. Probably was inspired by it, I'd assume.
It was always Legion then some studio tacked on "Exorcist III:" because they wanted to sell more tickets. It probably hurt sales though given II was such a turd.
Went back to replay that game after many years and when Saavedro showed up for the first time I just about jumped out of my chair going "IS THAT FUCKING BRAD DOURIF??!"
It is by will alone that I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stain, the stain becomes a warning. It is by will along that I set my mind in motion.
There were definitely two seasons of Dirk Gently. Season 2 is so conceptually wacky I was surprised it was greenlit and it's one of my favorite seasons of television.

Brad Dourif when he was younger (look him up in 1975's "One Flew Over The Cucoo's Nest") was remarkably handsome.

Season 3 ended on a wild cliffhanger too, was excited to see basically a live action horror version of Toy Story. We were robbed of that.

not that there's any real difference between his character in each movie

It was always Legion then some studio tacked on "Exorcist III:" because they wanted to sell more tickets. It probably hurt sales though given II was such a turd.

"Hollistic" assassin, exactly ^^

I was rewatching X-Files, and he showed up. He was a vessel for spirits and MAN was he amazing!

EVERYONE shows up in the early years of the X-Files. It's crazy how many major actors do guest spots on it early in their careers.

Iirc Giovanni Ribisi & Jack Black basically got starts in the same episode. Which was BRUTAL, btw.

Ah yes, S0303, D.P.O. Darin Peter Oswald. Lightning-ed some people.

This is Fiona Dourif, his daughter. She was also great as crazy killer in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective <3

She stole every scene she was in on that show. Amazing job

100% She did such a great job they Donald Ducked her later in the 1st season and even sidelined her in the 2nd. It pissed me off.
