While I'm not a hard core ckr fan (oh dear god is there any way out of that sentence without giggles?) I have always been drawn to him as an actor. Even long before I knew who he was, when I was watching the BSG opening credits without having seen the miniseries, I found myself watching him.
His appeal as an actor, to me, is his ability to look totally fucked up in two completely different ways. He can portray a scary dont-want-to-meet-this-guy-in-a-dark-alley darkness, and look like a totally tortured heart on his sleeve artist, at the same time. That is a really fun knife edge to watch him dance on.
Why I like Callum Keith Rennie
