Unfortunately there is now way this will be worth it. Highlander was great because it had a Frenchman playing a Scott, a Scott playing a Spaniard and Clancy Brown playing one of the greatest villains of all time all set to Queen’s awesome soundtrack.

Every attempt since at this material has been utter dogshit.

Holy shit... I never realised that was Clancy Brown, I got his old face so ingrained as an actor I never made the connection!

I find it a bit ironic that you recognize his face. To me I recognize his voice. Once I hear that deep rich voice I know Clancy Brown is in it.

He does a lot of cartoon voice acting and that’s how i recognize Mr Krabs, too.

In this case it is probably because I saw that movie in my teens. I live in a country where movies are dubbed, so I never even heard his voice until much much later.

I was so enthralled with the superb charter he'd pkayed at the time, I noted who it was and followed him in many of his productions since.

To me his character and the soundtrack are the glue that made the movie. It wasnt until No Country for Old Men and Javier Badem's character that I thought id seen an equally "good" bad guy

A head which at this time has no name. "I know his name!"

Clancy Brown is like Tim Curry: No matter what, they will always make it watchable.

I enjoyed the TV series. The Four Horsemen arc was pretty good.
