J.T. 5,365 Report post Posted January 20 Damn. His break-out performance in Robocop was so awesome that he got villain typecasting for quite a bit of his career, even when he started his his voice-acting side hustle. He was also set to reprise his role as FBI Agent Albert Rosenfeld in the Twin Peaks revival on Showtime. RIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd rather have an explanation on why he didn't even have ONE song in La La Land, when he was at least the second best singer in the film behind John Legend. 32 minutes ago, J.T. said: Damn.

sydneybrown 1,124 Report post Posted January 26 For whatever reason, I never really watched "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" despite literally working in that industry for over a decade now. And it being one of the greatest shows of all time. That being said, she was amazing in Ordinary People. That movie gets shit on because it won Best Picture and Raging Bull was so much better (and it was) but she nailed that role and did it by being the exact opposite of what everyone knew her as. And honestly, watch Ordinary People, and then watch Flirting with Disaster. She's not in it much but she is the best part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
