He was mentioned on the serial killer thread, with the fact the the wiki entry on him was well-written, and damned if I didn't read the entire thing at work.

I was at a Toronto comic-con in the 00s and they had Kidder and Erica Durance (the Smallville Lois) next to each other for autographs, and all the guys were queuing for Durance instead of Kidder, and that’s when I realised nerds were dead to me now

Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 14 May 2018 17:57 (eight years ago)

Everyone knows Reeve = Superman but it’s just as true for Kidder

Joseph Campanella, "that guy" character actor

the ignatius rock of ignorance (Dr Morbius), Friday, 18 May 2018 21:18 (eight years ago)

Huh. For a "that guy" I don't think I've seen anything he was in. I guess he played a bartender in "The Producers" and "man on street" in "Seconds?" Dunno if I would recognize him from those. Morbs, what do you know him from?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 18 May 2018 21:29 (eight years ago)
