Amazing In Dexter
I'm sure everyone has heard how amazing he was on Dexter, but I finally finished watching the fourth season for the first time today. He was fantastic in it. For some odd reason I was expecting the same evil bastard we saw in Cliffhanger or Blow Out, but this was something much different.
The way he conveyed his characters tortured and demented emotions was literally jaw-dropping. He was that damn good. One of Lithgow's best performances, if not best.
He honestly made Hannibal Lector look like a sour puss.
