Killers that LUCKILY didn't have repeated episodes

I got idea from Steve's topic about killers that you were happy they didn't show up once again in the series.My candidates are:

1-Clive Revill from the Conspirators(I just can't stand his visual style)

2-Martin Ross from Suitable for framing(same reason as above)

3-Dr. Joan Allenby from Sex & TMD(one of worse woman actress for me)

4-Fisher Stevens from Murder, smoke,...

5-Ed Begley (my most hated guest appearance)

Re: Killers that LUCKILY didn't have repeated episodes

Dr. Joan Allenby (Lindsay Crouse) actually does have another notch on her pistol.

Did anyone ever see "House of Games" ?

She played a very similar character. In the end she killed the con man who "Played" her. She walked away and forgave herself.

Re: Killers that LUCKILY didn't have repeated episodes

I would have to agree with 1, 2, 4, and 5. I really thought Fisher Stevens was the worst choice and very unbelievable in that role, horrid appearance.

Re: Re: Killers that LUCKILY didn't have repeated episodes

I am not a big fan of the same actor returning to play the killer again. Many do such a tremendous role in their one appearance (ex: Leonard Nimoy in "A Stitch in Crime") that a second trip is unnecessary.

I despised him as much as his secretary did. The little boy with his playroom and toys, golf carting around the movie set.


Go get a real job, son.

Gee, I liked Martin Ross, for his smugness and feeling so superior to Columbo.
