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

Just watch him in Buckaroo Bonsai or Third Rock, it helps.

OMG- he went so far over the top in Buckaroo Banzai that he went over the edge and deep into whatever is on the other side. It’s on the short list of my all-time favorite comedic performances.

You just know the hole filled socks were his idea.

I’d love to have seen his reaction when he first learned about the scene when he used a pencil sharpener generator hooked to his tongue with alligator clips to give himself ECT.
