Poll question: What is your favorite Raymond Burr role?
Edited on Wed Sep-06-06 04:43 PM by WI_DEM
I have no idea why I'm asking this question except I had an irresistible urge to.

(Whoops! I meant to put this in the lounge! Sorry).

He was so believable as a mad murder. It was the first time I noticed him as an actor.

15. Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window
I was never a Raymond Burr fan, but "Rear Window" is a masterpiece and his portrayal of the villain in that film contributes greatly to its success.

17. I'm standing up for Robert Ironside. 'Cause, you know, he can't stand up!
:rofl:

Seriously, though. I liked Ironside because his first name is the same as mine. And Ironside is a cool name for anybody, but especially for a guy in a wheelchair.

I loved that show. I used to love watching the beginning with the characters in silhouette against a blood-red background. And the pseudo-Bernard Herrman music. It was just TOO cool! B-)

19. He was good in "Crime of Passion" with Barbara Stanwyck
Sterling Hayden got billing over him but Burr's performance was pretty good.

20. One wonders: Was the guy who portrayed Paul Drake also gay?
Because . . . just look at the guy. If he's not queer as a three dollar bill, neither am I.
