Bill Irwin

It may be time for me to finally forgive him for being a part of the "Don't Worry, Be Happy" video.

He was a damned creepy bad guy in last week's CSI, the one which introduces Laurence Fishburne's character.

Funny how the clown guy can make such an effective bad guy, too.

Robin Williams – also in that video – has had some turns like that. Andy Griffith in "A Face in the Crowd" is a revelation if all you know about him is Andy Taylor and Matlock. Steve Martin, I suppose, in "Tha Spanish Prisoner."

 

I knew I recognized that guy on CSI last week. Creepy doesn't begin to cover it. Just caught Irwin on a Cosby Show rerun that also featured Carl Ballantine.
Robin Williams was a sicko in Insomnia and as the photo developer guy.
Didn't Jerry Lewis do sicko turn on TV? God knows that guy would be convincing as a thug.

 

Jerry Lewis was a homeless uncle of Munch's on an SVU

 

Aww, what does he know -- Collins couldn't even hit his own weight! Your Honor, I demand a separate trial!

 

Bill Irwin is great in everything, from Eight Men Out to Mr. Noodle on Sesame Street.

 

He'll be great on Broadway this spring, too, in Waiting for Godot, with Nathan Lane,
John Goodman, and . . . wait for it . . . David Straithorn.
