      Warden Norton is easily one of the most underrated movie villains ever and played brilliantly by Bob Gunton. No big fancy Marvel suits and weapons and yadda yadda yadda. Just your classic narcissistic, evil, stone cold, sociopathic mental terrorist who has every aspect of the prisoners' lives by the balls. And it's always the irony that the people that play the most messed up characters are those you'd trust to leave your kids with over some of your blood relatives.

      100%. He can play good guys and villains, tough guys and soft guys, scientist types and warriors, and is equally convincing every time. There are so few actors who can portray so well such intimidating characters (as the Kurgan), and yet play comforting characters (like his character in Earth 2). Great, great actor. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai continues to be one of my favorite films, with a great cast. Highlander, of course, is classic. But he's just so good in every role he does.

    He's underselling himself massively here because he's humble and modest. However, for me, arguably the best scene in the film is the rooftop scene and the exchange which takes place between him and Tim Robbins when you think he's going to push him off the roof 👍

The scene on the roof is sort of the peak of his arc, where he’s conflicted with either a) actually throwing him off the roof or b) entrusting an inmate, who he views as scum under his shoe. He not only trusts his advice but shows a small amount of humanity by letting them drink after the jobs done. He’s a very evil dude but throughout the film we see him occasionally shed that, however brief it is. Not a full redemption arc but enough development I guess

While there, I noticed him standing at one of the overlooks checking out the city below. He was alone. At the time, for the life of me, I couldn’t remember his name. But I recognized him from movies I had seen (Pet Sematary 2 and Shawshank Redemption). I walked up to him and introduced myself, told him I really liked his performances in the aforementioned films. He smiled and asked if I liked any of his other work. I told him sure and mentioned a couple of others I could remember. He thanked me, asked if I wanted to take a picture or an autograph. I declined and said I just wanted to say hello and compliment him on his work. He didn’t seem surprised at all. He was really personable and approachable.

    I thought his best scene in Shawshank was when he was going to throw Andy off the roof. This guy has been around for a long time. IMDB has him listed with 301 acting credits. That is a ton of work by anyone's standard. He played a lot of bad guy roles early in his career (probably because he was so good at them) but as he got older, started playing more sympathetic characters. He is an excellent actor and I've really enjoyed his work over the years. Appreciate the interview, thanks.

      Carnivale was brilliant another one of those series that inexplicably gets cancelled

      @@bobbyboko6317 Yeah. I found this from an article, though: “Carnivale was one such show. Gloriously geeky, and notoriously expensive (a rumoured $4m per episode), it couldn't find an audience commensurate with the scale of its ambition and was cancelled after just two seasons.” $4 million per episode, especially back in the early 2000s, was fairly exorbitant. Even if the ratings were pretty decent, and I don’t know that they necessarily were, they just could not keep up with the costs.

    Clancy playing the demon born-again radio evangelist was terrifying in HBO's "Carnivale" but almost nobody watched it.....so far out there.

    His best role was playing “the Viking” in Bad Boys along with Sean penn. the scene where the radio blows up in his face is where the term “boom box” came from (jk).

    The roof scene, where Tim's about to learn how to fly. "I think a man working outdoors feels more like a man with a bottle of suds." Great movie.
