That Guy Actor of the Week: Matt Frewer

Some of you might remember the character Max Headroom.    First it started off as some dumb character that acted kind of like a robot and then it actually evolved into a show in the late 80s.   Anyway, most people never really knew the guy behind Headroom.  It was Matt Frewer.  Even less people know that Frewer is an actor whose been in a ton of stuff.   In fact he’s got 114 titles to his name.

You might also remember him as the neighbor in Honey I Shrunk the Kids or as Moloch in Watchmen.    Bottom line is that this guy’s been around and he’s actually a fun actor to watch.   I highly recommend you see more of his stuff.

  1. He was the main man in a show called Doctor Doctor in the 80s that was absolutely hilarious. He would improv half of his lines and his co-stars would have to react to where he was going, it was incredible.

  2. Yay chico! Thought I was the only one who loved Doctor Doctor; why can’t we get that in syndication?

    And my crush on Matt from Max Headroom was the reason I started watching Dr Dr in the first place. Matt Frewer can do no wrong IMHO.

  3. Syndication generally requires the magic number of 100 episodes. Doctor Doctor never made it there. Its the same reason Sledgehammer isn’t syndicated, which is a travesty.

    Frewer had cancer and died in both Watchmen and 50/50. He looked particularly bad in 50/50, but I suppose he’s getting along nowadays. I hope he’s OK.

    I always thought he’d go farther than he did.

  4. I loved him as Sherlock Holmes! I stumbled across a 5 movie box set at Wal-Mart of all places..I recommend you giving it a shot if you happen to find them!

    Also, loved him in the mini-series of The Shining!
