What's the creepiest role you've seen a Wings cast member in?

I'm sure there are others, but those are the only ones I could think of right now.

Stephen King and the stuff he writes and the more true to the book revised movie of "The Shining". He did good in the role.

it has to be a toss up between Steven in " The Shining " or Tim in " Ambush at Waco " (although I didnt get to see that one, it sounded really good) another one would be Tim in Stephen Kings " Storm of the Century " where he played the towns sheriff

Steven Weber was in "The Shining"?! Man, everyone keeps telling me I need to see that movie. well, that's another reason why I gotta see it now. hehe.

nantucket_wings · 05-09-2003, 03:48 PM

you have to go and see that movie, if you want to you can go out and buy it on dvd like I did, its 2 disks and its worth every penny of the $9.99 that I spent on it ... I know, to many fans of his that didnt catch it on tv youre in for a big surprize and a real shocker ...

I've never seen The Shining, but I've heard of it. It sounds really scary. I saw it spoofed on one of the Simpsons' Halloween specials.

I also haven't seen Ambush at Waco and I was only 11 or 12 years-old when the Waco thing unfolded, but that David Koresh guy sounds like a huge weirdo.

I remember seeing that X-Files episode with Antonio. I can't believe our dear, sweeit, innocent cabbie friend killed people. (Well, it was really his shadow that did it.)

Ice Cream Man · 05-09-2003, 05:24 PM

He didn't mean to! He played a scientist exposed to some ultra-high radiation that made his shadow unzip the cohesive bonds between particles of any unfortunate sap who happened to stepped in it. Don't you hate it when that happens?

Krista2882 · 05-09-2003, 05:29 PM

hey, at first I was gonna say that I don't remember that episode of the X-Files (I was never really a regular viewer, but I've seen a truckload of episodes), but now that I think about it, I think I do remember that episode!!!

Chocoholic · 05-09-2003, 06:16 PM

The episode was called "Soft Light". It was during the first or second season, I think. I watched The X-Files on and off for the first couple of seasons, but I wasn't really a huge fan.

Yeah, especially when you're trying to get a date, but you keep killing everyone!

Steven Weber did a TV movie called "In the Company of Darkness" that had to be the creepiest role. His co-star was Helen Hunt and Helen played this undercover cop that was trying to bring down a killer played by Weber. His character was suspected of killing young boys and he was a pathetic drifter that looked awful with greased up hair. You would be hard pressed to recognize Steven as his character from Wings.

AgtSkye · 05-10-2003, 06:02 AM

Okay, this may sound way off base, but 'tis true. I think the scariest, albeit "unconventional" role I've seen one of them in is...I'm sorry to say this: Crystal Bernard w/her CD called "Don't Touch Me There".
Why: Her sister went nuts in a bad way with the album art.

Allright, there a few things in conjunction with each other on this that make me feel this way, so please no one take this the wrong way, or think I'm unfairly blasting one of the cast members. Yeah, it's not an acting role, so it doesn't truly count as such, BUT...I've opened up the CD before (I work in a music store, and we have a copy as we speak). Her sister did the album art, and put roses ALL OVER IT. On the front is a picture of Crystal kneeling, and totally disregarding the rules of scaling there is a gigantic dew-drop ridden rose next to Crystal. It makes her look like a flower fairy or something, and the title, "Don't Touch Me There". Now with the dew-dripping huge red rose, and those words emblazoned on the front, it's easy for the mind to go directly to the gutter. On the inside of the CD there is red roses literally covering half or more of the pages, nothing but, except for where she's put the lyrics, and album info. They actually featured her CD a few years back on the Daily Show if you know what I mean...
Okay, scariest REAL role I think is Steven Weber in "The Shining". Not bad for a tv remake. And the original w/Jack Nicholson is a masterpiece. One of my favorite thrillers.
Anthony Shalhoub was good in X-Files, and it was definitely second season. And Steven King wrote an XF epi too about a killer doll in Maine. Not too shabby.

Hey, Agtskye, don't you be making fun of my Crystal and her music! lol (I'm like Lowell defending Tom Petty's looks if you saw that episode.)

Actually, I've never really heard much of her music, but I confess I liked the duet she did with the guy from Chicago (Forever Tonight) and yes, I am that sappy.....ahh, who am I kidding, Crystal could have the voice of Leon Redbone or Tom Waits and I'd like it.

AgtSkye · 05-11-2003, 04:03 AM

I like Tom Waits, lol. if you want I could get her CD from my store and send it to you. <g>

Anne

P.S. Hey on the west coast the show has started, and Lowell is playing the drums, lol. This is great. ;o)

losthighway · 05-11-2003, 02:24 PM

WoooHOOOO! Now, every night I can go to sleep with the lovely voice of Crystal serenading me....now I just need to go to ebay and see if I can find a life size Crystal poster and my life will be complete. lol

I actually like some of Tom Waits stuff......have you ever heard that song called "What is he Building in There?"....I don't recall what the CD is called, but it came out about 4 years ago. But the combination of his voice and lyrics are great.
