Bilas Comes in Peace

Anyone who tells you 1990's "I Come in Peace" was a Dolph Lundgren vehicle obviously didn't pay attention to the dynamic performance submitted by ex-Dookie and current ESPN analyst Jay Bilas**. Enjoy his work as alien cop Azeck - the fun starts at the 0:45 mark of the clip (or, since YouTube is messing with me, the -0:50 mark):

**G:TB realizes we're not breaking new ground here mentioning Jay's role in the movie. However, we're not sure people have actually seen him in action, and even though it's just a few seconds out of a trailer we thought it warranted viewing. It's a damn shame the loons on YouTube won't allow me to embed Jay's full dramatic scene.

    tribe hosts loyola-chicago in the bracketbusters event. pretty mediocre opponent, 9-13 on the year with no good wins, though sporting a 3-game winning streak. this is one w&m should win, which means they'll dump it.

    Do you get the sense that whoever wrote that screenplay came up with the "I come in peace" / "You go in pieces" dramatic exchange first, then figured out the plot to support it afterwards?

    As someone who has actually seen the entire movie...Yes. 100% Yes.

    You would think they already pulled it out of their bag of tricks...but you never know. According to Wikipedia Jay was also in an episode of the White Shadow - that might be a little tougher for me to find.

    yeah - he would have been about 14 or 15 when that 'shadow' episode aired.

    Roger Clemens has a pair of brass ones, I'll tell you that...even OJ's shocked at his arrogance.
