      I met Alvarez (Kirk Acevedo) at a Comic Con a couple of years ago. I told him I would get weird looks from people when I (as a Black man) would tell them that my favorite character on television was a murderous Neo-Nazi. Then he looked at me the same way and said "That IS weird, bro." 😂

    Verne Schillinger is one of my favorite tv villains, he was such an evil bastard

    • @ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1
      @ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1 Před 5 lety +16

      Agreed, Stone Cold.
      There is a scene in Oz in which he is talking to Sister Peter Marie because he's worried about his kids who are being raised by his father.
      She says something about how he should be comforted by the fact that it's his father instead of strangers and he looks at her with dead eyes and says, "And he did such a good job with me."
      At that moment, he transcended simply evil bastard and took on the mantle of concerned parent and it was completely credible.

    J. K. Simmons is an outstanding actor. When he talks about Oz here, he looks so less scary than in the show. This man has such a huge potential in drama and comedy. His role in "the ladykillers" was hilarious!

      yep, his character was so hated, but jk simmons demonstrated he can make you react no matter what, for an actor, they making you react, it's their biggest goals in their career, that show up how versatile are

    What a great actor and it seems like he's a really great guy in person. Look at the different roles he's played in his career and it shows just how versatile he really is. I would LOVE to meet him in person and maybe have a beer with him. That would be pretty cool.
