15 Unforgettable Odyssey Performances
15 Unforgettable Odyssey Performances
Here's a list of 15 performances that come to mind that I remember finding perfectly delivered. Sometimes it was simply a perfectly delivered line or scene that I still remember, or a comedic performance that I still chuckle to think about, and for others, it was there entire performance throughout the episode that I find simply unbelievable. Then there are one or two where it wasn't necessarily the delivery, but the character written for them that I found great.
These are the actors who make you completely forget that there is acting involved. These are not placed in any particular order. What performances are your favorites?
15: Will O Ryan as Eugene Meltsner in “The Turning Point” (more specifically, the scene where Katrina leaves)
14: Hal Smith as John Avery Whittaker in “Stormy Weather”
13: Bill Myers as Mike Mulligan in “A Leap of Faith” (more specifically, the river scene)
12: Alan Young as Jack Allen “A question About Tasha”
11. Hal Smith as Grim in “Someone to Watch Over Me”
10. Walker Edminston as Tom Riley in “Greater Love”
9, Joe Campanella as Horatio G. Spafford in “It is Well”.
8. whoever that guy was who accidentally pulled the trigger in; Buried Sin.
7. Corey Burton as Cryan Brian Dern in “Top This”
6. Nathan Carlson as “Nathan” in The Underground Railroad
5. Earl Bowen as Dr. Regis Blackgaard in The Final Conflict (more specifically, the final scene in the tunnel)
4. Walker Edminston as Tom Riley in “The Mortal Coil”
3. Charles Knox Robinson as Nagle in Someone to Watch over Me
2. Fabio Stevens as Curt Stevens in “Home is Where the Hurt Is”
1. Alan Berman as Bill Kendall in “Where is They Sting?”

I'll add two to that.
Walker Edmiston and Hal Smith in the last scene of The Homecoming.
Whoever the actor is who played Rev. Andrew in The Underground Railroad while in the jail.

Great list!
I'd add Jack Allan's part in "The Time has Come".

Hal Smith and Walker Edmiston as Whit and Tom in "Lights Out At Whit's End." That scene is the epitome of 'unforgettable.'

I really liked Paul Herlinger (plus everyone else) in Silent Night. I'm sure there are lots more, especially several in Bennett's list.

Only two mentions of children here. I'm going to give this some thought.
Perhaps the children in the show are not written with the same level of thought as the adult characters?

I don't know.
I think the scene with Jimmy and George at the end of "The Prodigal, Jimmy" is worth noting.

Children worth noting would be (I'm not saying that these are amazing):
Donna Barclay in Karen
Karen in "Karen"
Clara in "Clara"
Donna Barclay in "Preacher's Kid"

Karen in "Karen"
Clara in "Clara"

Well totally. And it's not like any of the kid actors were that great (except the new ones like Mandy and Trent, but they were older so).KODY 105 wrote:Perhaps the children in the show are not written with the same level of thought as the adult characters?

Actually, that scene is the epitome of unforgivable.Boswell wrote:Hal Smith and Walker Edmiston as Whit and Tom in "Lights Out At Whit's End." That scene is the epitome of 'unforgettable.'
Allen Young as Jack Allen in "Clara".
Nick and Mike Mulligan in "A Lamb's Tale" (for that one scene)
Tom Riley in "The Other Woman"
And Whit and Eugene had a great scene at the end of "The Other Woman" too.

I completely agree. Both Karen and TVBOF are such mature episodes and both girls really pulled off the acting in these amazing episodes...Jonathan wrote:Azure Janosky as Donna in The Very Best of Friends
