If that’s the only movie you’ve seen him in, go watch Shawshank Redemption right now. One of the finest movies of all time.


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

You've not seen Shawshank Redemption? You are truly missing out on a masterpiece.

I'd have to add The Mist also. In fact, if you have it on DVD there's a good chance you'll also have the black & white version - which the director wanted to show it in - as an extra. It weirdly goes change the feel of the movie quite a bit.

If we're talking Clancy Brown don't forget his role as The Kurgan in The Highlander. I liked it, but I'm definitely not gonna compare it to the likes of The Shawshank Redemption.

Agreed. Once again it seems like our movie preferences are quite similar.

Yeah, he's a hoot. Was great in "Elementary" as Sherlock Holmes father too.



If you stick with the show until the season one finale you will be pleasantly surprised by who the mystery guest star is......

Yup. The US taxpayer got a lot of bang for the buck with that plane.
