Great in The Wire obviously, but I think he was even better on Bosch, a show I think is rather underrated.

That's a real shock. He was also a very unorthodox version of Albert Wesker (and his clones!) in the recent Resident Evil Netflix series. Plus like almost every other great character actor of that generation, he's in the seminal HBO Oz series.

[The Narrator Returns]

He was also the single best guest appearance on The Eric Andre Show.

[therewillbeblus]

He's great in Fringe too

Per Milestone on social media, Erik Daarstad, who helped Kent Mackenzie make The Exiles in several ways, mainly with the cinematography and extending to the editing.

A rare interview recording where he discusses the film.

Original Parliament/Funkadelic member Fuzzy Haskins

"Standing On the Verge of Gettin' It On" was always a highlight because of him.

Oh man, RIP Fuzzy! Standing on the verge is incredible!

Orson Welles scholar Robert Carringer. Goes without saying, his reconstruction of The Magnificent Ambersons is priceless. His research discrediting Pauline Kael's dubious argument re: Welles's authorship of Kane is definitive, but it's really unfortunate it's not better known. (Even the Smithsonian forgot about it when they published an article on the "controversy" back in 2016.)

[The Elegant Dandy Fop]

Orson Welles scholar Robert Carringer. Goes without saying, his work has been of immense value, especially his reconstruction of The Magnificent Ambersons and his research discrediting Pauline Kael's dubious argument re: Welles's authorship of Kane.

His book on the making of Citizen Kane is essential cinema reading. There’s no doubt that Orson Welles is one of the geniuses of cinema, but it gave me an appreciation and understanding of the artisans and technicians who made the film happened. It made me appreciate the endless playfulness of Kane and how he even carried it within budget limitations in Chimes at Midnight and Mr. Arkadin.

Leslie Hardcastle, who as the man who ran the National Film Theatre for much of its existence (1957-91), and was also the prime mover behind the Museum of the Moving Image, had an incalculable impact on film appreciation well beyond London - in fact, it's in part thanks to him that all those onstage NFT interviews that increasingly appear on assorted Blu-ray releases were recorded and archived in the first place, even if there was no intention at the time to ever publish them. I was lucky enough to meet him several times in the 1990s and 2000s, and to say that he was a character would be putting it mildly, but he was also invariably delightful company.
