Appreciation Thread: Kurtwood Smith

[Kryton]

This guy has ALWAYS been tremendous, whether as super-badass Clarence Boddicker in Robocop, as Red Foreman in That '70s Show, as Annorax in VOY's Year of Hell or whatever.

I've NEVER sen a weak performance from this guy.

My favorite is the little-seen Myron Castleman. GOD that was tremendous!

What's your favorite recollection of Kurtwood Smith?

 

[Michael]

Love the guy. But why the TOS forum?

 

[FredCFO]

Kurtwood Smith was great as Red Foreman. He was a riot as Clarence Boddicker in Robocop.

As you may recall, KS played the Federation President in Star Trek VI:

 

[Kryton]

Not sure...thought I was in GEN MEDIA. Sent a PM...a kindly MOD will hopefully move it momentarily!

 

[Mallory]

Happy to oblige. Off to Gen Media it goes.

 

[unimatrix7]

He first came to my attention as Annorax in Voyager's Year of Hell. Great actor.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

I love everything he's been in. A particular favorite is Dead Poets Society.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Also, 12:01 PM. The original short film, not the lameass feature-length remake.

 

[Kryton]

Hence my "Myron Castleman" reference. Good call.

My favorite of his lines from that film is one he ad-libbed himself:

"Just give me my FUCKING PHONE CALL."

 

[Aragorn]

Next season on 24, he'll be RoboCop actor No. 5 to be on that show.

Really?

 

[Aragorn]

Peter Weller, Ray Wise, Paul McCrane and Jesse Goins.

 

[Roshi]

Damn, that movie (RoboCop) owes a lot to KS's performance as well!

That guy is mega badass!

 

[1001001]

Best TV Dad ever.

[Captaindemotion]

Red Foreman rocks. He would even beat George Foreman in his prime.

 

[Dane_Whitman]

I like him in everything that I see that has him, here's another cool role in a fun B-movie:

Prison Director Poe in Fortress!

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Peter Weller, Ray Wise, Paul McCrane and Jesse Goins.

I know about all those, but is Smith really the next one to appear? If so, who is he playing?
