Josef, you recognized Lance H...Hellow, my friends!<br /><br />Josef, you recognized Lance Henriksen as Frank Black, the unwitting and involuntary sheriff of Bucksnort, in the Millennium episode "Beware of Dog." Nicely done!<br /><br />You also correctly identified the sheriff in Smallville, even if you had to use John Schneider's hair to do it. Awesome detective work, by the way. Nice visual aplomb!<br /><br />Hi Doug: Thank you for the compliment about the "Cult TV Faces of" series. I have a lot of fun with it, though I'm never sure what it's going to look like week to week.<br /><br />And wow -- incredible -- you identified two very difficult imags there. First, Michael Constantine from the very Twilight Zone episode you mentioned, "I am the Night, Color Me Black."<br /><br />And then, on top of that, you recognized Allan Melvin from Lost in Space's "West of Mars."<br /><br />Wow. Those were REALLY" toughies. Congratulations on getting them right. Very, very impressive!<br /><br />All my best,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-66497365860206631702011-01-26T09:38:26.023-05:002011-01-26T09:38:26.023-05:00Hi John,
Don't know how you continue to come ...Hi John,<br /><br />Don't know how you continue to come up with these but they sure are entertaining. I am going to guess two of these actors that had very long and varied careers.<br /><br />1. Michael Constantine as Sheriff Koch on Twilight zone's "I am night-color me black" episode.<br /><br />2. Allan Melvin as enforcer claudio on Lost in Space's "West of Mars".<br /><br />Melvin's career is just amazing to me. He was on shows from " Andy Griffith" to "The Brady Bunch" and "All in the Family". He also had a huge carton voice resume as Magilla Gorilla and other various voices (Banana Splits, Scooby Doo, etc.).

I checked if it was the sheriff who was before that lady sheriff...and sure enough, I was correct.<br /><br />And that actor has been either a detective or sheriff in most of his roles, he just got that face.Jósef Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07786186551265658132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-24812510138989860312011-01-25T18:49:06.924-05:002011-01-25T18:49:06.924-05:00And of course, Frank Black wasn't the sheriff,...And of course, Frank Black wasn't the sheriff, but the townspeople of Bucksnort insisted on calling him that...apparently they've been waiting for a sheriff for a while there.

Great job!<br /><br />Strange Powers:<br /><br />You also did great with the ids. Yep, #3 is from the Prisoner episode "Living in Harmony" (which, as you say, is genius.). You also accurately tagged # 5, Starbuck from the Battlestar Galactica episode "Magnificent Warriors."<br /><br />You also got the Twin Peaks, American Gothic and even X-Files id correct! Wow. In the last case, that is Luke Wilson from the amazing fifth season installment "Bad Blood."<br /><br />Nice job to you both!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />JohnJohn Kenneth Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629979615332893780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12380553.post-67530527805938386322011-01-25T06:16:00.490-05:002011-01-25T06:16:00.490-05:00Okay - some I've no clue about, but I'm pr...Okay - some I've no clue about, but I'm pretty sure on a few!<br /><br />3) The Prisoner, from the brilliant Living in Harmony episode<br />5) Dirk Benedict?
