Capone grills William Fichtner about FIRST SNOW and PRISON BREAK!!!

Fichtner is awesome. by Judge Dredds Dirty Undies	Mar 31st, 2007 04:19:29 AM
A true great. Someone give him a leading role already.
I saw him at a best buy once by BitterMan23	Mar 31st, 2007 05:13:42 AM
Not knowing (and still not knowing) how to pronounce his last name, i just said "hey, colonel willie sharp!" and his wife laughed at me. oh well. he rules. he provided the one funny line in the entirety of that danny devito/martin lawrence movie from a few years ago.
Wasn't he in a sitcom once? by DirkD13"	Mar 31st, 2007 05:38:07 AM
I'm sure the first time I ever noticed him was in a sitcom starring a woman with a really deep voice. Truly awesome actor, and sounds like a cool guy to have a beer with.

Great interview by Teamwak	Mar 31st, 2007 10:04:13 AM
Intesting guy. Loved him in Invasion. That show should never have got cancelled.
William Fichtner reminds me of michael bay by Talkbacker with no name	Mar 31st, 2007 10:26:11 AM
The man. not his films.
Yes, Fichtner is very cool. by Sledge Hammer	Mar 31st, 2007 10:28:45 AM
It's great to see him really get some much deserved attention and quality roles in recent years. Rock on.
Hey! what gives? by Talkbacker with no name	Mar 31st, 2007 10:45:08 AM
I wrote a whole load of crap about why Fichtner reminds of michael bay. Maybe he is who michael Bay should look like...if that makes sense? Also when people say Jerry Bruckheimer the image in my head is of Fichtner...maybe Fichner, Bay and Bruckheimer are all the same person?
He played a Supreme Court candidate on West Wing by chiahead	Mar 31st, 2007 12:17:08 PM
Opposite Glen Close a few seasons back. His performance was spellbinding. I thought, here's a guy who is the absolute epitome (politically) of everything I despise, yet I am so completely on his side. And his stint in Empire Falls was equally awesome. This guy rawks. Even in Ultraviolet- which I guess no one wants to remember. I liked it...

You are exactly right. That was a great episode of The West Wing, and it was largely because of him. He's a great actor who makes everything he does better. He made that character far more interesting than most other people could have. If he's in the movie, generally I'll watch it. He was great in Strange Days, Go (one of my particular favorites), Invasion on TV, Contact and even Armageddon. He made Armageddon a better movie just by being in it. And he sounds like a great guy to boot. Keep doing what you're doing William Fichtner. A lot of people love it. ...
I agree by optimus122	Mar 31st, 2007 03:27:49 PM
The dudes a great actor
Kiss Ass Shoes! by lucasjackson	Mar 31st, 2007 04:44:50 PM
He was hilarious in Drowning Mona as well. He's made Prison Break worth looking forward to.
Where are the Prison Break talbacks? by Christopher3	Mar 31st, 2007 05:39:17 PM
That show's as geekworthy as anything else on this site.
"Miss Stamper?.... by DocPazuzu	Mar 31st, 2007 05:48:34 PM
...Col. Willie Sharp, United States Air Force. Requesting permission to shake the hand of the daughter of the bravest man I've ever met."
Fichtner and I waited on tables.... by JerseyBoss	Mar 31st, 2007 10:37:22 PM
...in 1980 at Leo Lindy's in Times Square. He knew me the as "Ace". the guy never, ever let on he was an aspiring actor.... Good for Bill. Glad he's doing well.
Good to see other people know the 'geddon well by BitterMan23	Mar 31st, 2007 10:43:31 PM
enough to know lines from it. Bless you all. You have warmed my heart. You're all invited over my place this year when the Blu-Ray DVD hits and I can finally enjoy a quality transfer of this classic film.
One of the best interviews AICN has run. by Grando	Apr 1st, 2007 12:34:12 AM
Was anyone else totally reading Fichtner's speech patterns? AICN should run a series of interviews with great actors that are just sort of bubbling under star status. That would be cool shit.
For me he'll always be Sheriff Tom Underlay. by bioforge	Apr 1st, 2007 06:09:04 AM
With that character he walked a very fine line between being a regular good guy and a total weirdo alien freak. He made that show.
Billy was cool.... by JerseyBoss	Apr 1st, 2007 11:21:51 AM
Very soft spoken and cool. All the chicks dug him.
I don't know what interview you guys read, but.... by oisin5199	Apr 1st, 2007 12:30:46 PM
nah, just a reference to Fichtner being a total dick to a TVGuide interviewer. Then again, I think it was Ausiello, and who wouldn't want to bitch slap him? Anyone remember Fichtner in Go? Creepy. Ok, so I do like him as an actor.
WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN? by Napolean Solo	Apr 1st, 2007 05:20:35 PM
His role in that movie made the film. How could you forget about that one Capizzle? Yet'n'Still how could he? That was comedy fo'yo'ass!
