Thought he was worth a mention in here even if nobody else bothered to.

 

Maybe it's because he was described by the NYT as "the actor audiences
loved to hate."

 

Must have been because of the "9 to 5" role, I certainly never hated him.

 
9 to 5 was a lousy movie.

 
Agreed

 
But it was a cultural 'event' that, e.g., every viewer remembers.

I never even bothered to see 9 to 5 -- in the theater or later on TV, lol.

I know that I've watched part of the movie on TV but I'm not sure I
ever watched the entire movie.

On Golden Pond (a true classic and a cultural event) was probably where
I first became solidly acquainted with him.

I watched at least some early episodes of Mary Hartman and if I saw him
on that I soon forgot about him.

Kind of like one time when I was rewatching The Bounty and thought
"I'll be damned, that's Liam Neeson."

The first things I likely ever saw him in was either THE OUTER LIMITS
or THE INVADERS, but I don't remember either performance. 9 TO 5 is
the first thing where I both saw him and remember his performance.
Likely because every clip from that movie included him. Then of course
there was WARGAMES.
