Roger/"Tez"
Wasn't that great? I didn't know whether I was supposed to be
laughing, as I just HAD to, or whether I should have been shivering in fear
as the writer's I think may have intended.
On the laughing note, I loved the bit where he ripped the posie
apart with his teeth. (Oh, so charming.) The Mom-morph was cute. ("Gee,
Mom, that feels good, whatever you're doing". Stab.) The
crick-in-the-neck-nervous-twitch was good. He looked like he was having
fun, too, which is always good to see. I'm afraid that I have even less
respect for the writers than I did before the show, although they did wrote
a role for Roger! (If Teri Hatcher had changed outfits one more time, I was
going to turn it off! [watch the tape later]) And, oh, the hair! He cut
off all his beautiful hair for THAT?! (Though I must admit, I couldn't find
the bald spot...) Talk about Dippity-Do!
On a serious note, he had a pretty good death scene (as far as that
show goes - it's been worse, I am told). The scene in which he confronted
Teri Hatcher was very well choreographed AND played out (no amount of
choreography can make up for poor acting). I kept thinking: "Is he gonna
touch her? Morph into her to get at Superman?" But the fingernails stayed
at bay. The whispery voice was good - or maybe he'd just been singing too
much the day or two before taping?
That was the second bit part I've seen him in (can't find McVicar
ANYWHERE, and I don't count the Tommy movie), and I think he does well. He
certainly knows how to get into a grubby character (played a dusty
gunslinger with an itchy trigger-finger in "Lightning Jack"). Only hope he
does so well with cleaner-cut roles.
