The McHattie Files

Do you know who Stephen McHattie is? You may have seen him on television or in film but what you may have not realized is how involved he actually is. With EVERYTHING. And we are not talking about Lance Henriksen.

i just rented the movie 'Kaw' w/Stephen McHattie & i thought it was Lance H.but then i realized i was wrong..i always mix them up..they aren't relate, huh? haha

@aabrilamor They played brothers on "Beauty & the Beast" but aren't actually related. I used to mix them up myself before I became a huge McHattie fan. That's why I put that shot of Henriksen in near the end of this video.

@McHattieFan I've already watched Pontypool three times since I got it on BluRay. I really love a lot about that film. It seems very clever, allowing the audience to use their imagination to build suspense rather than just dump a lot of violence into the movie. Of course, what really drives it is McHattie's performance. I love HoV for many reasons (Cronenberg is my favorite director, The Fly my second favorite film of all time) but at the McHattie marathon we watched only his scene.

@McHattieFan LEXX has actually become my favorite show of ALL time. Don't get me started on a LEXX rant - it'll burn down YouTube. Moss from Potatoho is such a hilarious character - - did you see him come back for a couple of episodes in season 4 as Special Agent Moss. If you haven't you've got to check that out, even if just to see McHattie administer a courtmartial where he acts as Judge, Prosecution, Defense, and Witness (all at the same time!). I really wish I had either hat too!!

@McHattieFan I think one of the big reasons I became a serious fan of McHattie is simply finding his involvement with many different works that I connect with. Growing up Quantum Leap was perhaps my favorite TV show, and McHattie's guest role in the final episode really stood out. Unlike the many characters that appear playing random participants in history, McHattie gets to tackle the role of another time traveler, so it resonates much more.

@greatsharkhunt (cont) - Stephen was amazing in Pontypool. What a great performance! (I'd love to get my hands on that hat, LOL).

Pontypool is definitely on my birthday movie marathon playlist., along with the first part of A History of Violence - after the cafe scene, it's all over. (Literally..) :P

@greatsharkhunt I saw those episodes of Lexx for the first time only a few months ago - they just cracked me up. Made me glad I'm not from Idaho...LOL. :D

You have his Potatoho uniform? :O Man, I'd settle for the potato masher. Or that insane hat he wore in the beginning. Hehe.

I haven't seen the episode of Quantum Leap, and unfortunately I've only seen a short clip from one of the two X-Files episodes, but they are on my list! :P

[greatsharkhunt]

@McHattieFan You should definitely do a McHattie marathon! For my party, we watched Pontypool, the two episodes of The X-Files where Stephen McHattie plays the Red Haired Man, the season 2 episode of Lexx where McHattie plays "Moss" from Potatoho (I actually own McHattie's actual screen worn Potatoho uniform from this episode!) and to conclude: the final episode of Quantum Leap where McHattie plays another time traveler. It was really fun!

@greatsharkhunt I don't think it's odd at all - just very, very cool (hence the fuse blown in brain). My birthday is next month, and I've decided to treat myself to a McHattie movie-marathon. :P

[greatsharkhunt]

@McHattieFan Yeah, that is a bit odd for a theme but it seemed a lot better than perhaps dinosaurs.
