This man doesnt have to play the biggest role in movie, but he's always unforgettable performance

[_Skim_Beeble]

This man is one of the most underrated actors, his role as The Gemini Killer in The Exorcist 3 was phenomenal.

[TheMalfean]

Mr. Dourif is so unbelievably underrated as an actor, its criminal.

[phyrr]

Brad is one of THE best actors of all time.

[skipper]

this man is easily one of the most interesting actors of all time.

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

[Desttro]

He gave a brilliant performance in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".

". . My plan..."
Baron Harkonnen: "My plan!"
"The plan..."

He was a masterful Grima the Wormtongue.

I have read all the books and Brad is forever going to be Piter in my head. He played that character better then anyone I could imagine.

It’s a shame dourif and lynch didn’t do tons of projects together. Dourif has that intensity that would be a great cog in a lynch film or in twin peaks.

Brad Dourif is FANTASTIC in Deadwood. HBO series set on the American frontier in the 1870s. I mean, he's superb in everything really.

[theverminmediaareyourenemi]

One of the most underrated actors of all time.

[TheGuerillapatriot]

He is great. Everything he does makes the movie memorable. One of the greatest actors. Everytime I see him he nails whatever he does.

[TTony-tudm]

Simply an amazing actor. Kills in every part he plays

[maxfieldblue]

The scariest Brad Dourif movie has to be the Excorcist 3, ... his part as the Gemini killer is truly scary and I couldn't stop watching him doing it !!! He's AMAZING !!

[quentincollins]

His performance as Piter was delightfully nightmarish. In every scene he was a looming, ravenous, sensuous predator. I saw Lynch's Dune at twelve in the theater...Dourif absolutely freaked me out. 🏆

[xpictos]

Should have been cast in the exact same role for the 2020 version!

[steerpike]

I'm watching Deadwood for the first time and Brad's doctor is perhaps one of his finest roles. It's so great to see a guy whose given us so many unbalanced creeps play a deeply compassionate, upright, kind and tormented man.

Brad Dourif is a bad ass character actor. In addition to Dune, I've enjoyed him in Star Trek Voyager, Amos and Andrew, Alien Ressurection, of course, his role as Chucky in the original Child's Play movies, and as The Gemini Killer in The Exorcist III.
