David Hewlett goes psycho! (er, TV role, that is)

[wraithfodder]

Yes, I made a short video of David Hewlett from his appearance in the 1992 episode "Dead Air" of the fun vampire series, Forever Knight (starring Geraint Wyn Davis). Anyway, he plays an escaped psychiatric patient who is well, unbalanced, and wants to kill off the radio host/psychologist. Nick Knight rides to the rescue, and well, let's just say David sure can scream ;)

Copy quality is grainy - 6 hour VHS, digital camera pointed at tv, you know, primitive but effective...

Next up, his role as a male prostitute (oh, what gems these old videotapes hold!) ;)

Thanks for sharing that. I don't remember that particular ep of Forever Knight, though I'm sure I saw it back when it originally aired. I've been curious about what David Hewlett's guest spot was like on that show, so I'm glad you posted.

I sorta remember it, but sure am glad I taped the whole series :) David does "whacko nut" so well... ;)

I bought this episode at Amazon! I love seeing David so young and with hair! I just fast forwarded to his scenes. :)

I need to find a good scene of his from Kung Fu, where he played the coroner :)

[ed263.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hope you find one!! I've been wanting to see him in Kung Fu for the longest time!

Hmm if it keeps raining tomorrow, maybe I'll see what I can find... but it is addicting watching Picket Fences!

Good acting, tragic show. We're in the process of transferring KFTLC onto DVD. He's so YOUNG in that!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

I'm doing Picket Fences first as well, not a lot of them, but Forever Knight, Night Heat, KF:TLC, oh gods, that's a ton of tapes!

Well, we might have to pool our resources and see which eps are the best quality :D We've also downloaded the series but some episodes are poorer quality than what we have.
My nephew AJ loves an Australian show called Hey, Hey, It's Saturday and ancientcitadel has about 15 years worth :D

Wow what a shocking end to DH in that epi ;-)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yes, he gave an electrifying performance *cough*

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

It must have given a surge to his acting credit.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, a brilliant performance ;)

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

Bet he was really charged over that.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Darn, can't think of another rebuttal.

[jedi40.livejournal.com]

I think we used them all up.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hee, yes, lots of hair~!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

And he does it so well!

Wow, I watched Forever Knight and certainly don't remember this. Actually I hardly remember anything from that show.

David's hands certainly stand out. I don't know if that's because the clip is so grainy that his pale hands show up so distinct, or bacause David just has large hands.

And look! He's holding the gun in his left hand! My personal pet theory about David is that he uses whatever hand makes a shot look good. He's done that often enough on Atlantis.

Thanks for sharing this clip!
