    props to both gerald and rich for meantioning and recognizing the criminally underrated powers boothe. that guy chewed up milch's dialogue and spit it like venom at the camera. his cy tolliver was truly scary, especially when his pride was wounded.

    • @vickenator
      @vickenator 2 года назад +3

      I don't know that I really realized it until Gerald mentioned it, but your comment crystallized it -- Boothe was absolutely incredible in his role. I wish we'd had an opportunity to learn more of Tolliver's backstory.

      There were so many well written great characters portrayed by phenomenal actors, Powers Boothe gets accidentally criminally underrated as Tolliver

    McRaney in Deadwood portrayed one of the most venally brutal villains in TV or cinema. An astoundingly good performance.

      He radiated an atmosphere of tensity and dread through the fucking screen whenever he was on. Deadwood didn't have many plain evil characters, but Hearst was just nasty. Seemed to hate anyone who had the audacity to clutter his mind with the irrelevant knowledge of their existence.

    Gerald McRaney absolutely killed the role in Deadwood. You really hated George Hearst, but you had to respect his intelligence and his influence.

    The dialogue in Deadwood was some of the best I’ve ever heard. You had to listen closely to understand what was being said. Al Swearenden’s lines were Shakespearian.

  • @Gamble661

    Deadwood was a great series and he was a great character in it, he played the villain perfectly, just as he did more recently in Longmire.

    I grew up watching him in Simon and Simon and knew him to be Delta Burke's husband. I didn't expect much of him in this role. I was totally proven wrong. He was incredible in this role. Now anytime I see his name in a cast, my interest is peaked.

    What a line of great roles Gerald played in some of the greatest series of the last 20 years- Deadwood, of course, but there's also Justified and Longmire. Does a great job at playing morally bankrupt, power-hungry men...

    McRainey had a scene with Molly Parker where he comes close to her and speaks softly, letting her know he is her enemy. None of his words are openly violent or even sexual, but you get the distinct impression that you're witnessing a rape. Chilling in the extreme.
