Character Actor of the Week
Despite our gut desire to give the award to Jerry Orbach every week, there are definitely many others who deserve the recognition. This week's award was a no-brainer, in fact, the celebration of the end of an era. By celebration, we honestly can't say whether we mean honor or relief.
Character Actor of the Week for 11/23-11/29: Paul McCrane
Dr. Robert Romano on ER is the horrible, weasly, cocksucker of a one-armed man that makes one positively gleeful to hate. Which is why we're not sure how we feel about the fact that he just got smooshed by a flame-engulfed helicopter that crashed on his head. The best part was that no one in the hospital noticed for the entirety of the show. We don't know who they're going to get as a new asshole, but it is doubtful that anyone could be as staggeringly genius in the task as Paul McCrane.
Kudos, Paul, and we hope to see you on screen again soon. R.I.P., Romano, may you rot in hell, you will be missed.

You know he was in Fame, right? And composed some of the music (I don't remember what) that they used?

I did know that, actually, after reading a bio of him. That adds to the mystique, for sure.

i'm glad they offed his character. i won't miss him. but yeah, he was genius at portraying a megalomaniac surgeon. he made me cringe when he would lay into someone with his crassness.

I find ER hard to watch now with Romano gone it just isn't as good, i often wait to find out what comment he is going to use next. and i hate to say that i think a bit of him has rubbed off on me.
Noone will ever be able to replace his dark humer. He will be deeply missed.
