The one version of Martin Sheen's Presidential roles we don't actually want to see come to power

1. You must have been watching it last night too!

I tuned in right before the hockey scene. I love that movie!

3. Probably :)

I think I caught it right as Johnny was being interviewed by the wealthy guy to tutor his son, and then I stuck with it to the end. It's another one of those movies where I'll stop flipping through the guide just to watch the rest of it

One other thing I liked about Dead Zone was the actor that played the wealthy father. Normally, he gets all the villain roles, but here he got to play good character, someone that only wanted the best for his son. He played the part well

5. Exactly!

I loved how he told Johnny that Martin Sheen was dangerous. If only he heeded Johnny's warning about the hockey game--- at least the son did.

One of my favorite Stephen King books and movies.

So funny--I went to bed last night and saw it was on so watched the remainder of it.

2. Martin Sheen earned kudos, quite justified, too, for playing President Bartlet, a genial, loving,

exceptionally intelligent man. But Sheen has always been scary-good at portraying sudden explosive anger, as in this scene from "The Dead Zone."

He also had several scenes during the run of "The West Wing" where his talent for portraying anger made the scene work.

4. Yeah, he's good at a whole range of emotions :)

He's also good at being dopey-stupid, like that scene in West Wing when his wife shot him up with something to keep his MS in check. That was one of the funnier scenes I've seen him act
