Deadwood - Doc Cochran

[TheJokerzGirl]

If Brad Dourif were at least 36 years younger, he would of been the most amazing Joker ever!

He has the psycho-genius quality that would surpass Heath Ledger.

[SuperTornado2212]

@JudgeDoom500 I agree with you bro!

Brad is an amazing actor that is underrated!

He was in "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest"

[Sanaa2k]

What's wrong with him what is it that hurts so bad in him?

[bigfatchodez]

@Sanaa2k CIVIL WAR, NIGGA

[AndrewMyhre1]

Russell Crowe would have nailed this scene

[SteakMusic]

one of the most moving scenes I've ever seen. Dammit I miss this show.

[whooptink]

This scene is one of the most moving and skillfully acted scenes I have ever had the privilage to view. Mr. Dourif is a master at his craft.

[axeman118]

I just found out this guy plays Grima Wormtoungue in lotr, what an amazing actor. I did not realize they were the same.

[whooptink]

@axeman118

He's also the voice of "Chucky"

[JudgeDoom500]

Brad Dourif is an amazing actor. Just look at this stunning performance. He should get big roles thrown at him. But the freaking brain dead movie bussiness give big roles to un-talented morons who is just called "actors" because they "look good". It really is a shame. Back in the day you got famous for being talented ( like the awesome Brad Dourif) not because of you'r good looks.

[Embosan]

@JudgeDoom500 That is SO true, and sadly so.

[Openheimmer666]

I heard that HBO was thinking of making a sin off about doc cochrin during the civil war. If they can't make season four of deadwood why not the doc cochrin show?

[sagem28]

Thats some grade-A acting here...

[greenbay357]

its a tie between doc cochran and Al as the most entertaining person on that show

[Namirsolo]

This is heart-wrenching. For context, he's questioning God about the suffering of a minister. He's also seen the civil war first-hand- the bloodiest war the country has ever seen.

[spuzmanX]

War destroys the mind and soul, not just the body.

[Sanaa2k]

I can't understand what the hell is he talking about. Can anyone explain it to me ?

[blubbson]

@Sanaa2k watch the show

[prufrocke]

Jesus this scene made me cry, and I don't cry at movies. Brad Dourif is the finest performer in the series. Amazing. I hope he was recognized for his woork.

[cruffrider5]

fuck me? if you had any sense you would see i was saying "fuck hbo" because they canceled deadwood. so in the words of al "fuck you you fucking cunt"

[realmenplaynes]

this scene and the one where he's dancing with jewel were chill-inducingly good. great episode, great series.

[cruffrider5]

one of the best scenes of the entire series. fuck HBO

[Suuulan]

Fuck u ! Fuck HBO ? HBO brings the best shows: The Wire, Sopranos, OZ, Entourage, Deadwood. Or did u mean like "fucking HBO man, they are the best" ?

[redmancheyenne]

A very emotional and realistic plea...

[fridun007]

"Did you (GOD) need to hear their death agonies to know your omnipotence?"

[MoonyWoozy]

Oh. My. God.

[naseilis]

What Brad Dourif did in that scene as an actor is simply incredible. Hats off to him.

[Antiochus2]

This is, hands down, one of the greatest performance I have seen in my life. I dont agree with those who see hate in this scene. I think its more about disbelief and humility in front of a very cruel reality. Dourif managed to give us a true sight of pure and honest humanity and deserves recognition for this scene!

[lsdmighthelpyou]

I agree. Thanks for your thoughtful comment.

[OneEyedJack1970]

Seriously though, this is a great scene. Brad Dourif is a much better actor than he's often given credit for.

[illini50]

OneEyedJack1970? Does that mean you were in the band circa 1970 Champaign?

[OneEyedJack1970]

Uh... no.  I was in the womb circa 1970.

[xxomen86XX]

@illini50 im pretty sure everyone who is familiar with his work has commented on how incredible he is...he is very well respected, just not very well known

[mysteriousperson69]

@OneEyedJack1970 Brad Dourif gives an AMAZING performance on the X Files - Season One, the episode called BEYOND THE SEA. Unbelievable performance! I love this man.

[OneEyedJack1970]

I would have loved to hear him bust out with some "it is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juico of sapho that the thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning, it is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

[fgraziani]

Moved to tears by this scene ... kudos to the writers and the actor.

[Zhqrxt]

<<<good thing Al make his prayers come true

[redmancheyenne]

The Doc had a lot of history that came out in this bit.

Wow! Very intense prayer!

[polaris31270]

I looked specifically for this scene and was surprised to find it. I remember it as very emotional as my Dad died of a brain tumour around the same time. I couldn't watch this scene again until now. Thank you for sharing, a very powerful scene and full credit to the actor and writer.

[cholulasaucehot]

brad dourif's first movie was 1975's one flew over the cuckoo's nest...

yup doc cock's first acting part was as that stutterin fool that jack nicholson got laid in the loony bin with the hooker in the 75' classic

[andrewf2]

he just called a "san francisco cocksucker"

[Mookiefuzz]

"Did you need to hear their death agonies to know your omnipotence?"

[pentherapy]

I liked that part in particular. There's a lot of hate in this scene.

[Hobgoblin1975]

I also felt that the show with the minister did a good job fairly potraying a man who was trying to be a good Christian, which is courageos in these anti-Christian times

[Hobgoblin1975]

there are men of immense faith that I have watched pray like that, when they think they are alone. Its heartwrenching to hear them, this actor must have seen someone pray like that too.

[noisesandwich]

brilliant actor, brilliant scene!!

[AllTerroristsMustDie]

This scene alone sums up why Deadwood is simply the greatest television show in human history and why HBO executives should be flogged for letting it go. How they could cancel this and Rome and allow smut like Sopranos to go on simply offends me and boggles the mind. Between Ian McShane and Brad Dourif how did they not win Emmys every season????????

Inter arma enim silent leges,

ATMD

[drube77]

they didnt cancell it, the creator got bored and killed it because he wanted to do a supernatural surfing show that flopped. HBO now wants nothing to do with hum because of what he did

[AllTerroristsMustDie]

Well then HBO should have hired a new showrunner and fought to keep Deadwood alive. John From Cincinatti sucked what the hell was Milch thinking? How do you give up a show like Deadwood for shit like that? IS NOTHING SACRED ANY LONGER?????????

Inter arma enim silent leges,

ATMD

[cholulasaucehot]

did you know brad dourif's first movie was 1975's one flew over the cuckoo's nest ?

well now you know

[elsephen]

I think that's where most people actually know Brad Dourif from. He was brilliant in that film, and hasn't had a role like it since. Unfortunate.

This was great though. Showed what he's capable of again.

[Mazryonh]

Did he say "I beg you, eternal one"?

[vanna204]

I can't believe this is the same guy that does the voice for "Chucky" From the Child's Play movies. lol

[piratebri]

he alludes to Gettysburg :(

its true, the first thing soldiers think of when they are wounded in combat is "mother"...

[spazquesters]

My brother had a brain tumor...one day it swelled, he kept looking at my mom saying "mommy"

[piratebri]

yes, I didn't mean to say only men wounded in combat think of their mothers, but in essence, any man does, when they are stripped down to their primal consciousness. The first thing we see in life is our mother, and it is fittingly the first thing our brains think about when they are in chaos. Which is why you will hear a lot of men say, when they are in a life-threatening situation that they "thought of their mother". It's a comfort mechanism that the brain falls back on to counter shock.

[iammadness]

@piratebri Not just men either. We all seek that first protection when in agony.

[whop9]

More people need to see this. Without question the bestly acted scene yet.

[leianog]

God, Brad is awesome!! Absoultly BRILLIANT actor, no question about it.

[loganrenn]

:*(

[mayingerzee]

this scene made me cry when i first saw it. still gives me goosebumps.

[loverlybird]

Brad Dourif is just so amazing. yes indeedy.

[randomprefect]

But Brad Dourif is God :P

He is so wonderfully talented, you can't help but love him and be in some amount of awe towards his abilities.

[leianog]

brilliant! Brad Dourif is such a talented actor, thats why his my favorite

[Norn]

thank ypou brad is the best!!!

[MaiaRikae]

Wow...I am absolutely in awe of Brad Dourif. He is, without question, one of the greatest actors on earth.
