How to Draw Attention to a Terrible Wrong
🕑 Added 2025-07-14 07:00:04 +0000 UTCThis is maybe one of those comics I did just for me. I hope you enjoyed it too, but really, it is just four panels of me reveling in my own geekery. But come on! Look at the guy’s IMDb page: It’s bonkers!
A few other notable projects he has appeared in:
Game of Thrones
Troy
Willow
The Crown
Blake’s 7
Magnum P.I.
Lovejoy … YES! FRIGGIN’ LOVEJOY!
Lately, I’m sort of liking the idea of giving people like him some appreciation while they’re still here to enjoy it. I would love to see an effort made to get him in to play some sort of antagonist (even if it’s only in one scene or voice work) in Star Trek, the MCU, the DCU, and The Orville.
I’m also not kidding about his awful costume on Space 1999. When I was a kid, Space: 1999 toys and merch were available, but it didn’t run on any of the Yakima stations, so I never got the chance to actually see the show. I could only imagine it. Lately, I’ve been working my way through the series, and let me tell you, the show itself is not great, but the making fun of it afterward on the phone to Ric is fantastic. Just last night, I watched Martin Landau passionately argue with three trees. Not puppet trees. Not guys in tree costumes. Just trees!
What was I talking about? Oh yeah, Julian Glover’s costume. It was awful, but not the worst on the show. I really do feel like part of the show’s goal was to knock dignified actors down a peg.
Here’s how they treated Peter Cushing, Brian Blessed, Leo McKern, and Christopher Lee.

Well, if you were curious about it, like me, it's worth taking a look, but go in expecting it to reek of the 1970s, and to have all the hallmarks of a sci-fi series that came out after 2001: A Space Odyssey, but before Star Wars.

Space: 1999 wasn't on any of the local UHF stations when I was a kid, but I just found out Tubi has it.

Gotta say I had no idea he voiced Aragog in Chamber of Secrets. Thanks for the education, as ever!
