My Take
Skeet Ulrich is one of those actors who defined a very specific flavor of cool for me growing up in the '90s — that dark-eyed, brooding intensity that made him perfect for Billy Loomis in Scream, one of the era's most iconic horror villains. He had this magnetic quality that kept you watching even when you weren't sure if you should trust him, and The Craft used that same energy to great effect. He was genuinely compelling in that mid-'90s wave of genre films that took teenagers seriously. Then he mostly faded from the mainstream, which felt like a waste, so it was genuinely satisfying to see him come back as F.P. Jones on Riverdale — gruff, layered, and still very watchable. He's an underrated talent who deserved a bigger filmography than he got.
