Type-cast?

Yes, I'm afraid he may well be.

Here he is, circa 1983, as Dr. Theodore Glaser in an episode of Scarecrow & Mrs. King.



(Yeah, I know. Awesome quality photo, eh? That's because I took a picture of my TV with my cell phone. ... Ridiculous, the levels I will stoop to. But that's how important it is to me to warn the world about this guy. I had to have physical proof to back up my bad guy theory.)

And here he is, circa 2002, as Adelai Niska in an episode of Firefly.



Okay, okay. So after looking at his history on IMDb, maybe Michael Fairman isn't a totally bad guy. I mean, he's played a lot of roles for me to think it's even possible that he's been the arch-nemesis in all of them. But still... he did play one heck of a creepy villain in two of my all-time favorite TV shows, so I'm kinda stuck thinking he's a bad dude.

Oh man, I just finished the episode where he tortures Mal and Wash and it broke my heart!!!! I don't like him and I don't think I could ever watch him in anything else and not hate him, even though I realize it was only a character. I just love Captain Mal so much I hate that he is so mean!!!!!!!!
