I saw 9 to 5 as a kid on TV all the time and man, he played the absolute heck out of that role. Before Lumberg(Office Space), he was the definitive bad boss on tv or movies. ---

While I’ve seen him in other things, the most recent was Boardwalk Empire. He was great as the scumbag Commodore. ---

In addition to loving to hate him in the movies, I loved hating him on _Buffalo Bill_ in 83-84. He starred in the show, playing much the same kind of boss as in _9 to 5_. ---
