I realize he had bigger, more mainstream roles that he'll be remembered for. But the most iconic for me was, Blair, in The Thing.

- nytesky 6y agoHmm, so he was also the brutal fixer in 'The Firm'. Any other dark roles, rather than his well known grandfather image?
- defen 6y agoPostmaster General role in Seinfeld, which parodied his role in Absence of Malice. The Seinfeld role was played for laughs but there was a little bit of a dark edge to it, in a funny way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On3cQ0sPvSY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=On3cQ0sPvSY (appearance about 1:17 in)

- eplanit 6y agoHe was perfectly cast, and perfectly played, his role as a nuclear power plant technician in The China Syndrome.
- jakebasile 6y agoHe performs my favorite "crazed destruction" scene in that movie. "Nobody gets in or out of here! NOBODY! You guys think I'm crazy?! Well, that's fine! Most of you don't know what's going on around here, but I'm damn well sure some of you do! You think that thing wanted to be an animal?! No dog's gonna make it a thousand miles to the coast! You don't understand! That thing wanted to be US! A cell gets out, and it'll imitate everything on the face of the Earth! AND NOTHING CAN STOP IT!"
