Lexx actors in other roles

[b] basically, he’s another great actor who deserved better than what hollywood threw at him – and discarded as a result.[/b]

Hard to figure what happened to him. He had some great roles early in his career and was wonderful in them (Ladyhawke, Blade Runner and more) and then started doing lots of dreck. Bad advice? Needed the bucks?
Of course if you wait for good scripts you do one movie every three years or so–if you like to work a lot you end up with some questionable stuff on your resume. And Hollywood judges you by what you did yesterday.
European actors seem to have a hard time dealing with Hollywood anyway. I think reading the Rolf Kanies (sp??) interview gives a typical picture of how a lot of European actors think: acting is their craft, and they like to practice it whether on a small stage, in a movie, on TV or in a workshop.
That attitude probably gets them into trouble when they get to L.A. and have to start thinking like a
[i]star[/i].

I got the impression in Buffy that he never quite figured out when to ham it up or play it straight and ended up just being oddly creepy.
