He started his career playing an institutionalized crazy kid and he was in that movie with… Kai Winn!
No wonder he’s good at playing crazy people. One too many “My Child” was heard.

It’s amazing how many good actors were in that movie.
Same, oddly, with The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin and Clancy Brown. Also, a deleted scene where Jamie Lee Curtis played Buckaroo’s mother.
When you make the quintessential 80s movie, you cast everybody.
And the Borg Queen in Deadwood.
Brad Dourif with an F.
He also played Grima Wormtongue in LOTR, the secret aide of Sarumon
He was also Doc Cochran in Deadwood
Love that character.
One of his best performances. And he’s a good guy! (At least about as good as you can get in Deadwood…)
He was definitely the unsung hero of the series, whenever real shit was going down Doc would get the right people working together.
He saved that little sqarehead girl
Shame about the grave robbing
Just watching deadwood for the first time and saw this episode last night. The Reverend’s face was just like “… no no he’s got a point”
Oh man, I’m so excited for you! One of the best shown ever. I watch it every year or two. This and Rome are the best historical fictions on TV.
I decided to give the first episode a try and before I knew it I was at the end of season one. It’s really well done, at times uncomfortable, super entertaining. They sort of make you love-hate-pity every single character hah
My favorite character from the series
Most importantly.
Corrected, my apologies to Mr Dourif. I have brought dishonor upon my house.
Maybe doesn’t qualify as Space Murderer
Guy’s got range
His daughter has the same energy.
I’m loving her in the Chucky series but she was funny as hell in Dirk Gently, damn did they cancel that series far too soon.
Let’s not also forget that he’s also the one who voices the psychopathic doll Chucky.
Oh he’s been all over Hollywood. Chucky isn’t a space murderer though, just a regular murderer. So he wouldn’t work for this joke.
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Chucky in space movie yet
Hello, fellow person amazed by this - maybe we need to try to set up a pitch meeting because I don’t see how this could go wrong.
How are you replying from the future? Do I need to call in a violation of the Temporal Prime Directive?
I have my Section 31 badge around here somewhere…
You might be Section 31, but I’m Psi Corps.
Technically Chucky was in space
He was also one of the military scientists in Alien: Resurrection, so there’s a pretty good chance he was a sociopathic space murderer in that one, too.
Edit:
Clearly this guy…
…is not in a good place, mentally.
good chance he was a sociopathic space murderer in that one, too.
If memory serves: only by proxy. But I’ll allow it.
Isn’t he the guy that plays the prisoner murderer in the xfiles that can predict the future.
If I had a nickel for every time Brad Dourif played a psychic murderer I’d have two nickels. Which is also weird.
YES! The man has nailed the psycho murderer role!
man I love this dude, mad respect for acting professionals who always get type-cast as wackadoos and crush it every time
He’s one of my very favourite actors. Everyone needs to watch Deadwood.
Holy crap! I thought I recognized him in B5, and later on Voyager, I had totally forgotten he was the Harkonnen Mentat in Dune. He did a fantastic job the both latter roles, I don’t think he was fleshed out enough in Dune
It must be weird being typecast as the “quiet serial killer.” Like you just exude so much quiet serial killer energy that’s all people see you as. Because he has been that character in much more. These just happen to be the times that character was in space!
And then there his sexy ass in Night Shift.
To be fair, Doc Cochran was absolutely nothing like those characters. Dude just had excellent range.
Oh shit I literally just watched him in voyager, what a coincidence!
Heh, same here. Took me a a moment to recognize him though.
And now his daughter followed in his footsteps playing the sociopathic murderer in Dirk Gently.

Easily one of the best “that guy” in Hollywood. He shows up everywhere and I’ve never seen a bad performance.
I’ll go my grave believing that he was the true main character of One Flew Over the Cukoos Nest.
Suder was the man. I wish we’d gotten more of him, but what we did get was great
Another character actor that I would recognize anywhere instantly (“Huh, it’s that guy again.”) and yet I’ve never known his name til just now. There’s so many people like this that seem to show up in all the sci-fi series whose names I never seem to know.
1984 Dune was a special movie
He is also the voice of Chucky in 90% of the Child’s Play franchise.
I really loved his character in Voyager. It was really interesting seeing a psychopath who was aware of his tendencies and knew he shouldn’t be around other people.
