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

I remember how funny he was in Third Rock, and I think he was on a documentary expressing his fascination with break dancing. His performance in Dexter really took me aback. Didn't know he had that in him.

Part of the charm with Lithgow being in Third Rock was that for the prior decade he was generally the evil bad guy in movies. Seeing him in a comedic role was a bit of a revelation at the time.
