This should be a bit more controversial, since I'm very anti-Crow: City of Angels, and thought Iggy Pop's character was a major highlight of everything that went wrong. Way too over the top, bizarre and neither fit the comic writer Ed Barr nor 1994 breakout director Alex Proyas. I mean it sorta had the direction, but it wasn't... it wasn't executed with the same mystique, class, despite having such a horrible subject. And if I ever get a show/movie going you'll note how much I admire Brandon Lee and Thuy Trang's work, Rest in Peace.
But, he was also in Deep Space Nine. He was sort of a mellow character. There wasn't as much hype. He played a conservative general. And if you're on Deep Space Nine, I hear you have a lot of fun, despite DS9 being the most dramatic of all series. He's a musician. He didn't want to disrespect anyone's legacy or anything. He was either doing it to get paid or in admiration or trying to follow a director's goal to mixed results.
Happy Birthday Iggy.
