Jeff Combs featurette from "The Frighteners"

This is a behind the scenes feature on Jeffrey Combs from "The Frighteners" Director's Cut DVD, released in 2005 (although Jeff is interviewed circa 1996).

Director Peter Jackson introduces the piece and Jeff is interviewed about his character, Special Agent Milton Dammers, including how Jeff got the role, Dammers' unique look, and the terrific collaboration between Jeff, Jackson, and the special effects crew. This is an absolutely wonderful piece that truly shows Jeff's dedication to a character and how incredibly hilarious and down to earth he is.

And you have not lived until you have heard Jeff utter the phrase, "Mini butt donut." ;)

This director's cut is available on both DVD and HD-DVD and I highly recommend it over the "regular" version. The theatrical release is missing several extended scenes that include Dammers and give Jeff more of a chance to flesh out this amazing character.

Jeff is so underrated, it's a shame. He is the best at portraying creepy, demented characters....I love it.

Jeff is awesome in "The Frightners", such a creepy, odd and funny character.

Great cult actor. Agent Dammers was an unhip Fox Mulder with occultist ties, paranoia, delusions of authority and mystic deceit.

How adorable with the glasses. He's such a gorgeous nerd! I love nerds! Nerdy Jeff! Also he really likes saying butt-ring! It's like saying a curse word, you can see the giddiness on his face! How cute!

Dammers is just a degree or two away from being heroic. Decades ago when I read Red Dragon when the Hannibal Lechter character appeared in the book I immediately imagined him played by Jeffrey Combs.

He looks like Jim Carey here.

Good actor though. Played a good range of characters in Star Trek.
