Any word on which story from Skeleton Crew it’ll be based on?
‘Gramma’, I think. (Stephen King reader here)
Don’t forget he’s also the star of one of my favorite scifi horrors Hardware.
Isn’t he in The Campaign.
Yeah, he’s in The Campaign. I thought his character was pretty funny. I like seeing him in different genres.
He was pretty funny in that movie.
I just fucking noticed thats him in The Campaign I’m a fucking dumbass.
He’s gorgeous. I still can’t believe he’s in his 50′s.
I love the fact that the still used is from the campaign. I thought he stole that movie. Just shows what a talented guy he is and how much range he is truly capable of.
Seeing him show up in the shower completely dry eating an apple.. classic!
