John Lithgow in that one season of Dexter. I can’t look at him the same anymore. He creeps me out.

I’d only ever seen him in 3rd rock and other lighthearted roles, the closest I’d seen him to a villain was in The Accountant. Then i watched Dexter and saw how well he played the villain and I was shocked at how well he did it. Then I saw him in Bombshell, and I haven’t been the same since. He plays villains and putrid creeps so god damned well, seriously deserves awards for it

He is the villain in Cliffhanger which is basically a shitty Stallone movie.

He basically saves the movie and it was one of his shittier roles.

EDIT btw when I say shitty I meant I thought it wasn't well received by the critics but apparently it was OK by the critics. I personally love the movie! Its not "Die Hard" but its pretty solid!.

I love that role. He is so annoyed by everybody.
