^ Oh, I love this show!

 

[Chaos Descending]

Brad Dourif is ... in pretty much the whole series.

OK you've pretty much convinced me to watch this show.

He is one of the secondary characters, not a main character, but he's still important, one hell of an actor, and probably one of the best people (in terms of quality of character etc.) on the show.

 

[JWD75]

Ian McShane alone makes the show worth watching.

 

[Icemizer]

Peaches & cinnamon anyone?

 

[Skellington]

Just finished watching season one on DVD a few days ago myself, having seen much of it on TV. I have no idea what happens in seasons two or three, but I'm there! McShane's Swearengen may be a monster, but he sure is entertaining. Dourif is great, too, with a character you can respect and root for.

Yes indeed. As an army doctor in the Civil War, Doc Cochrane has probably seen more death and maiming than the rest of the main characters put together, an experience that has left him with little faith in the world. His constant efforts to maintain his moral center are brilliantly played by Dourif.

Another good secondary character is Mr. Ellsworth, an honest, salt of the earth prospector played with wonderful understatement by Jim Beaver.

Peaches & cinnamon anyone?

Only if it's authorized cinnamon.

Yes, he is! His performance is pitch-perfect. He's a wonderfully sympathetic, likable character.

I love Jim Beaver; he's a terrific actor.

 

[J.T.B.]

I love Jim Beaver; he's a terrific actor.

He really is, and he has a great appreciation for the craft of the character actor. Apparently when he got into the business he told an agent he wanted the kind of roles Warren Oates used to get. You've got to respect that!

[Asbo Zaprudder]

God rest the souls of that poor family... and pussy's half price for the next 15 minutes.

 

[flandry84]

Deadwood is absolutely full of wonderful character scenes,one that stands out for me is the sad,poignant fate of the Rev.Smith.

 

[auntiehill]

^Yes. That was a great scene, Al showing perhaps the greatest act of kindness he could manage.

That was terribly sad.
