Really wish they could have got him in the Dead Like Me movie.

Neat stories.

I saw him in concert a few years back at a tiny theater. He was incredibly grateful about the life he has, told fantastic stories, and the singing was amazing.

At the end of the show, for his encore, he came out and told a story about how even little children knew just who he was, and it amazed him. That the power of twelve little words would change his life so much. And then he recited the words, and the audience went nuts. It was a benefit for a local Jewish charity, so 80% of the audience was middle-aged Jewish women, and they screamed like school girls.

Probably one of the best shows I've seen.

There was a movie? Why was I not told!

You're better off not having seen it.

/it wasn't good
//I wonder how many people walk up to Mandy and say "I'm gonna kill that farkin' baby"

This,
Georgie looked old!!

It's a shame that he's tried (and often succeeded) to crash and burn every TV show he's been on.

Huh?

Mandy's famous for impetuously quitting TV shows, with little or no notice to the producers. some of them (Chicago Hope, Criminal Minds) have survived, while others (Dead Like Me) haven't. I didn't say he was a bad person, I just wish he wouldn't do it.

/you're very close to going on The List.

I never get tired of quoting this movie.

/Unbelievable!
//Your wish is my command!
///My name is Inigo Montoya. My father is dead because of you. I have to kill you!

Ooba Tooba: gunga galunga: I never get tired of quoting this movie.

"No more rhymes, I mean it!" "Would someone turn on the spigot? "

Do a good job when you attack the castle.

So he's a male equivalent of Summer Glau then?

I saw one of his shows here in Chicago some years back and it really is a damn fun show.

As for quitting shows, this quote from him about Criminal Minds (which, much as I love a good procedural, is a vile piece of exploitation) puts me on his side:

"The biggest public mistake I ever made was that I chose to do Criminal Minds in the first place," the actor told New York magazine. "I thought it was something very different. I never thought they were going to kill and rape all these women every night, every day, week after week, year after year. It was very destructive to my soul and my personality. After that, I didn't think I would get to work in television again."

SockMonkeyHolocaust: But would he mind people singing "Y'all Are Brutalizing Me" at him?

Ronnie Dobbs: the MUSICAL!

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH Oh holy crap I never realized that was him!!!!!


/cant a maaaaaannnnnn, not control his biatch, with violence?

If we could get Joss Whedon to cast Mandy in a show for Fox, it would actually end up having a negative number of episodes. It might even create a black hole, sucking Fox TV into its singularity.

missmez: I'm going go ahead and say that makes him a bad person. Dozens of people lose jobs they really need because he didnt realize that Criminal Minds was going to have criminals in it?

The thing that I don't understand is that he'd NEVER walk out on a Broadway show or a concert tour. But farking over people in TV is all well and good in his book.

/still pissed about Dead Like Me.

Considering Criminal Minds is still on the air, I'm going call BS on that.

Sorry dude, bad mood...

brb gonna go get hammered
happy thanksgiving!

Every chance I get, which is often, I run up to Wallace Shawn and start to gush "Oh my god I can't believe it's you. Just say that one famous line from the movie....please!"

And he does.

"The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles."

After a picture with him I depart assuring "You were awesome in Uncle Vanya!"

I have probably done this 30 times over the years.

Great book, 'ok' movie (if somewhat mis-cast) with Crystal and Kane the weakest characters.

Never been able to figure out how Patinkin has been able to go from show to show to show over the years without being locked in to a 7 year contract.

Nice to read how grateful he is, too.

+1

hypocaffeinemia: I still love him from Sunday in the Park with George. Perhaps the best thing he ever did.

This.

Well thank heavens that hasn't happened with Homeland yet

/love him on Homeland
//never realized he was Indigo Montoya

Holy crap, he's Saul? Saul is hands down one of the best "father figure" characters I've seen on tv or in a movie in years. He's simultaneously very human and disturbingly intimidating.

/favorite character on that show

You see they called it Criminal Minds and not The Happy Funtime Psycho Torture Rapist Killer Ubsub Hunt Show.

Maybe he thought there would be some bank robbers and gangster hitmen in it too. But no it mostly it was crazy pervert killer of white ladies.

Well, then your post is entirely understandable.

To alcohol, the cause of and solution to most of life's problems!

Elmo in Grouchland. That is all.

Six_By_Nine: Didn't realize this was him until years later.

Had a similar experience Alien Nation. I was re-watching it and it was driving me crazy because I recognized that soft cadence his voice has... and about half way through the viewing it occurred to me Sam Francisco was Inigo Montoya.

My name is Indigo Montoya
You killed my father
This made me blue

First concert I ever went to, for my 15th birthday, was Mandy Patinkin at the McCallum Theatre. I had no idea he was a film actor until I was an adult; I had all his albums, and I knew he'd been Che in Evita, but I didn't see Princess Bride for the first time until I was 19. And I only watched it because of Mandy.

/Great singer.
//Never sit in the first 5 rows.
///Splash zone bigger than Gallagher's.

Heard this interview, interesting that the line in the movie that resonates most with him now is the young Mandy talking about what he's going to do for the rest of his life.
