Jeffrey Combs
I remember when I first saw The Frighteners. Who could NOT like a Michael J. Fox movie? He played a more maudlin character than usual, a widower with the dubious talent of seeing ghosts, and making a living off of 'removing' them (his own personal team he uses over and over again).
But what struck me hardest about this movie was a character called Special Agent Milton Dammers. This was as freaky a freak as you'd ever NOT want to meet. He was creepy, he was obviously insane, and he was so good you almost forget about Michael just watching him work. That was Jeffrey Combs, but far from the first movie he'd ever done.
One of the most - I guess you could call it iconic - works Jeffrey has done has got to be the Re-Animator series. I mean, it's Evil Dead with Jeffrey and a glowing green syringe. How could you not love it?
Besides being in one of my favorite horror movies, House On Haunted Hill, Jeffrey has done a wide variety of films both in small and large roles. He is always good, always interesting, and I would watch anything he was in at least once (even The Dunwich Horror remake).
If he's in something you plan on watching, watch it for him. It will be worth it.
