My Take

Mark Metcalf is one of those actors I quietly cheer for, because making an audience genuinely despise your character takes real skill. A man from small-town Findlay, Ohio, schooled at Michigan, somehow became the go-to face for sneering authority figures and aggrieved martinets, and I love wondering how that specialty formed. Leading roles get the glamour, but stories collapse without craftsmen who anchor the edges and earn an honest "I hate that guy." His move into film producing suggests a maker's instinct that runs deeper than performing. I am happy to give this kind of indispensable character actor a quiet round of applause.

Overview

Mark Metcalf (born March 11, 1946) is an American television and film actor often playing the role of an antagonistic and aggrieved authority figure. He is best known for his role as sadistic ROTC officer Douglas C.
