Oh, I love the acting! Brad Dourif with his freakish hand movements and generally creepy performance, Kyle MacLachlan being Kyle MacLachlan, and lines like, "I am the shadout mapes... the, housekeeper!" Haha, I can't get enough of that. I think I like my performances a bit hammy, though. :)
I've been re-watching the X-Files series and just saw an episode with Brad Dourif in it. His character in the episode was every bit as odd as his Piter De Vries.
I remember that episode vividly! It's a good one, very creepy and intense. Brad Dourif is always so dark and freaky. That's his thing. Even in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest he was pretty creepy, and I don't know if that was intentional. I mean, you're supposed to sympathize with him in that one, and you do, but he's just so intense all the time. He's in a lot of sci-fi, and obviously his being the voice of Chucky adds a lot to his reputation for creepiness. I like him, though. He's uniquely him. I remember being happy to see him in LOTR, I thought it was a great casting choice.
Now I want to re-watch X-Files! I can't believe they're making more! ... I ... I want to believe. ;)
I thought it was cool... but the acting was just so bad. Man, the screenplay was so sterile and very dense.

I love that they're making more X-Files. Just wish it was going to come back more fully. Ah, well. I'll take what I can get, I suppose.
