The MovieWise Take

"From the frantic fragility of Billy Bibbit to the oily, serpentine rot of Wormtongue, Brad Dourif has spent a career perfecting the art of the haunted outsider. He is cinema’s preeminent architect of nervous energy, transforming his erratic, wide-eyed intensity into an indelible legacy of indelible, skittering brilliance."
