Getting super obscure with this one. Made-for-TV anthology movie, hosted by the luminous and immortal Vincent Price, Once Upon a Midnight Scary (1979). Rene Auberjonois plays a delightful Ichabod Crane in 'Legend of Sleepy Hollow'.

John de Lancie in Breaking Bad. Nothing in, or after, quite held the weight of Walt and Jesse's actions like watching Donald Margolis pull up to Jane's Duplex imo. It was already gut-wrenching watching Jesse try to revive her, but Donald's face in those moments broke the dam. Impeccable.

She also had a nice turn as a femme fatale in Bosch. Several Star Trek vets on that show including Linda Park, Annie Wersching, and the star Titus Welliver himself.

my favorite thing about patrick stewart in american dad is that he's been doing it for more than 20 years and if you go back and watch the early seasons and go through it he becomes more and more unhinged and leans so hard in to how awful bullock is, he's having so much fun with it.

Also in Stargate SG-1! John de Lancie played Frank Simmons, and somehow, even if his only powers were excessive bureaucracy in favor of evildoers, he still managed to Q it all. Robert Picardo played Richard Woolsey in the same series and spin-offs as well.

Honestly, I know he's not a fan of the film, but my immediate gut reaction was Shatner in William Grefé's IMPULSE. I don't think any other actor could have bettered his take on the suave con-man / part-time murder maniac and his performance makes the film work and is a delight to watch.
