"There's That Guy"...Pt. 5: HorrorBid Exposes The Genres Unsung Actors

New postby aceofspades70 » Sun Aug 05, 2012 6:37 pm

Last time on..."There's that guy"...

1. Robert Z'Dar
2. Brian Thompson
3. Philip Baker Hall
4. Andrew Robinson
5. Brion James

and for the fifth and final installment of "There's that guy", we take a look at...

1. Bruce McGill


Image


Who the hell is Bruce McGill? Well, he has a very familiar face that has appeared on numerous television and film showings since 1977. He has played good guys, bad guys, hell, he's played a slew of characters. They should call him, the chameleon actor.

What's the horror connection? He played Luigi "Lou" Paloma in the Tales From the Crypt episode "The Trap". That's good enough for me since his face pops up in every damn show you see. Good work sir and way to stay busy. Congrats Mr. McGill, you have earned a spot on our "that guy" list.



2. Daniel Stern


Image


Who the hell is Daniel Stern? Well, he is probably best known for his quirky character roles in comedy films such as; City Slickers, Home Alone, etc.

So is there a horror connection and if so, what the hell is it? One word...

C.H.U.D. Yes, he played A.J. "The Reverend" Shepherd in the 1984 horror sci-fi film Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers. With a look like his and being in such a film, he qualifies for today's "that guy" list. Congrats Mr. Stern.



3. Clancy Brown


Image


Who the hell is Clancy Brown? Well, if you don't know, you deserved to be yelled at with his lion roar of a voice and stared down with the Highlander look until your demise.

But really, Clancy has been kicking ass since 1983 and still going strong. He's another badass I just don't think I would want to run into in a dark alley, especially if he breaks out the Highlander sword.

So what's the horror connection? Pet Semetery II where he plays Sheriff Gus Gilbert. Yes indeed, the Clancinator has earned a spot on our final "that guy" list; mostly because I don't want to wind up like a headless immortal. Congrats Mr. Brown.



4. Tracey Walter


Image


Who the hell is Tracey Walter? Well, this guy is unmistakeable when it comes to appearing on film/tv. He has been at it since 1971 and is still at it. You know him as those odd characters that just stick out in the show.

So what is his horror connection? The 2010 remake of..."I Spit On Your Grave" as 'Earl'.

Tracey has been playing many characters over the years and has earned a spot on our final "that guy" list. Congrats to Mr. Walter.



5. Larry Drake


Image


Who the hell is Larry Drake? Well, Larry's horror connection is 'Bubba Ritter' in one of our favorite 80's classic horror films (and perhaps one of the best scarecrow type films) "Dark Night of the Scarecrow".

Yes, Larry has been at it since 1971 where he also played a character named 'Bubba' in "This Stuff'll Kill Ya!"

With such a character in DNOTS, Larry has earned the final spot on our "that guy" list; mainly because I don't want to get stabbed with a pitchfork. Congrats Mr. Drake.

Great list! I remember a lot of these guys. I loved Clu Galagher in the movie shown above and in Nightmare on Elm Street 2.
