Okay, he's my comedy god, admitted. But he does horror/violence a little too chilling, I saw him once play an abusive husband, and I couldn't watch 3rd Rock for four months afterward.
Lithgow is a brilliant actor, and it comes through so powerfully in season 4 of Dexter.
In this clip, although the direction is not as good, I would equate his performance to Anthony Hopkins' as Hannibal Lecter, & I doubt he was copying him as this film was released in 1991 like "Silence Of The Lambs". He even looks like him!
The way he smiles pleasantly as he tells the parole officer what he would do if freed makes it way more chilling than if he had gone for the obvious threatening attitude
What Lithgow brings to the table in Season 4 of Dexter is probably the most wicked and vile advesary Dex will ever face. His methodical cold and void of feeling way of murdering his victims is as creepy as it can possibly get. The man is a genius when it comes to acting.
hahaha this movie is the best because john lithgow actually acts as a bad guy which is usually not the case in other movies , I love this movie I have it
The funniest thing about this scene is that Blake's whole master plan basically relied on the prison guard's being stupid enough to turn their backs on dangerous prisoner's with power tools (seriously, would they even allow prisoners access to tools like this?). God I love this movie!
Bested only by his performance in Raising Cain.

I did, with your wife's PUBIC HAIR!
(And another funny ass comment he'd said!)
Mr. Blake, what would you do if you get out of prison?
Well, I guess Mr. chairman, that first I would pay a visit to your house!
To thank me I suppose?
No! To fuck your wife, and your daughter! Hell, maybe even your dog!...HmHmHmHm
