Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He was in it, but does he really have a big name? I adore him, but lord, talk about a crap resume. Fantasy Island, fer crissakes.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My primary memory of McDowell is not of a role, but of him chortling to upset fans about killing Shatner's character. Which strikes me as extremely low-class, though I'm not particularly a Shatner fan myself.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.

I saw The Rose last night for the first time. Is it too late to take the Oscar back from Sally Field and give it to Bette?

Is it too late to take the Oscar back from Sally Field and give it to Bette?

You don't like Sally? You don't really like her?
