I'd never heard of him before Reaper, but he sure is the perfect Devil. His grin and demeanour remind me of Jack Nicholson mixed with Frank Sinatra. Smooth yet scary. It's brilliant how they managed to make an otherwise evil villain somewhat likeable. You want to like him, even as you know you can't trust him.

For the people who aren't familiar with Ray Wise, I highly recommend "The Journey of Natty Gann", made about 1985. I first saw this in the theater in my early teens and it remains one my favorite "kid friendly" movies. Coincidentally, he has also said it was one of his favorite roles (and probably one of the few where he wasn't the bad guy).

Oh man, I probably saw this in 1985 too. I remember the film, but jeez do I not remember Ray in it.

I just went and looked it up on IMDB... Sounds like an adorable film that will now be ruined for me, since I look at Ray Wise and am immediately scared. It sounds like Wise plays the father the little girl is trying to find her way home to. Like 'Homeward Bound', but at the end it's the Devil.

Totally! XD This is total weirdness in Norway (yeah, so we have very few networks, but still); one network has bought Reaper, Gossip Girls, Gilmore Girls, AFV, Supernatural, Smallville, The Bold and the Beautiful, and Fresh Prince in Bel Air. What is up with that mix? :S

Only in it for the slash ^^

I know I put this up at TWoP, but I found it again and wanted to put it up: Nice and Wise

My favorite quotes:

“Kevin likes what I’ve done in the past,” says Wise. “We were doing this scene where my character was making chicken fried steak while talking a little bit about hell and what I wanted Sam to do,” Wise recounts. “I would throw in a few moves of my own and a word here and there and the script supervisor would say, ‘Well, that’s not in there!’ But Kevin would say, ‘That’s Leland Palmer. Let him do what he wants.’”

and:

"...So I feel like that relationship between Sam and the devil is very much like the one Ray Wise has with the young kids in the cast. I try to tell them the good and bad things to do. And when I think they’re being a**holes, I let them know.”

He is so great.

There's an mp3 audio on that too. And heh. Guy loves to skirt the issue. He's as bad as a politician, with or without playing the
Devil

I am rather annoyed though. The interviewer says he just spoke to Bret a few days earlier, but I can't find the interview.

Also, Ray in "The Election".

It must have been off the record, informal like. I love when Ray calls Bret "a very good little actor". Aw, pat that little boy on the head Ray. Kind of an odd compliment.

411's interview with Ray. As usual, man blows it away.

So, realizing that I could utilize my own smile to that benefit and that I had that certain idea or twinkle in my eye at certain times, I felt was very key to the character.

ETA: Another interview with Ray, which sucks to High Heaven - but not at the fault of the Devil.

I did not know he was originally up for Sheriff Truman. That woulda made a BIG difference in the show. Kinda laughed about how Lynch told him Ray would find redemption in Leland, 'cuz Leland was kay-ray-zee, then the show got stupid when they tried to make it into Bob.

Ray's upcoming flick, Infestation:

Our hero, Cooper, awakes to find himself nauseous, weak and covered in webbing, hanging from the ceiling of an office where, just minutes ago, he started his new job. As he struggles out of his slimy prison he comes face to face with his opponent - a grotesque, powerful and very angry bug. All 3 ft of it.

And so begins a hideous, nail-biting, comedic, all-action adventure to find a safe haven while constantly outwitting an infestation of monstrous proportions. As Cooper embarks on his journey, he befriends a ragtag group of survivors including Sara, a feisty attractive female. Although the situation is dire, Cooper can't help himself from trying to solve his dating problem while trying to save his life.

Will they make it to safety before they are picked off one by one? And what other surprises are in store for our group of unlikely heroes?

Snerk. I kinda want to see it now.
