Bill Moseley

Bill Moseley is the kind of actor I find endlessly fascinating: a Yale graduate who built a career playing some of horror's most unhinged characters. To me there is something delightful about that contrast, an Ivy League mind disappearing into Chop Top from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 or Otis in Rob Zombie's Firefly films. He has clearly become a fixture of the genre, the rare performer fans seek out by name. The fact that he is also a musician tells me he is not content to be typecast. Born in 1951 and still working, he strikes me as someone who genuinely loves the craft of being scary.
