Jeffrey Combs.
He’s mostly a supporting actor, but he’s a chameleon who always delivers.
This is the answer. Patrick Stewart is the face, but Jeffrey Combs is the backbone
Watch the Re-animator movies. He gets to be the lead! He has a knack for delivering B-horror scripts with the gravitas of the finest stage actors.
I’ve been meaning to watch it for a while now; I’ll have to make that happen soon.
Ever seen The Frighteners? The CGI definitely does not hold up, but the plot and acting are top-notch. Combs plays a super creep in it that you love to hate.
Oh for sure! Just rewatched it a few weeks ago actually.
