Today's Scenery Chewer--Robert Knepper

Dish loves a scenery-chewer. Let us all bow to the Hopkins, the Maclaine, the Lucci who provide color and zest to any drab stage. When actors can inhabit a screen and eclipse all others, well, it's a god-given talent. Today, I gift The Laurel of Chewery to Robert Knepper who always seems to play that creepy evil guy who effs everything up for the powers of good. He only has to twitch an eye and I'm applauding his malice. Dish has been conscious of this actor for at least 20 years and now I'm watching him devour (and kill a hooker after getting his hand hacked off!) Prison Break like a starving orphan left in the desert for weeks. Long Live the Knepper!
