Carlson, who is perhaps best known in his starring role as the villain Barry Convex in Cronenberg's 1983 surrealist horror film Videodrome, went on to appear in three other films by Cronenberg, including the supernatural political thriller The Dead Zone, which came out the same year as Videodrome, and the 1986 body-horror classic The Fly, starring Jeff Goldblum.
i fucking love videodrome. so glad you mentioned it among his credits. super underrated movie and his performance is perfect in it.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like to rewatch Videdrome. That was so triply when I was younger and I just didn't appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteTrippy my spellcheck hates this word
ReplyDeleteThe Dead Zone is one of my faves. I've crushed in Walken ever since. I know...I'm like the only one.
ReplyDeleteVideodrome was great! Very trippy and I believe a young Deborah Harry was in it as well...
ReplyDeleteI hated Dead Ringers though...
ReplyDeleteI loved watching Dead Ringers the 1st time. Especially when the (spoiler) girlfriend figures them out. But it's too insane for repeat viewing.
DeleteDerek..Yes, it had Debby Harry in it. Now I'm going back and reading the plot summary and Trivia. Imma have to get my hands on it again.
ReplyDeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved Videodrome so much. I've gotta find that movie and rewatch...
