best performances (ranked)


1. Scream
2. Punk!
3. Hackers

though i ve to admit i'vent seen more of him,
cause when it comes to Scooby-Doo i turn the tv off
or throw it out of the window.

in scream he was amazing
punk was good
and hackers was such a funny trash

i would have liked to see him more.
more in the roles of a funny *beep* psycho,
thats his role.

he is somewhat similar to Malcolm McDowell
and this guy made some very interesting movies.
its a shame that Lillard didn't got the curve for more demanding and good movies

You gotta admit, he acted pretty good in scooby doo, the writing tried too hard to appeal to kids with five minute fart jokes. I still enjoy the movies.

i am sorry, i hate scooby doo ;-)
maybe its a cultural thing, that i dont get it

reply

i never liked the comics
and they are also not that famous in middle-europe,
except the movies and the series.

maybe he is playing the role well,
because its needed that way,
but for me its too annoying and hysteric.

also strange is, that imdb hasnt listed "Scream 1" in his 4 "most known for"-movies,
cause i think (beside the Scooby Doos) it still is his best known film up to date. and he is unforgettable in this one, comparable to Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards. A guy, one time seen and you will never forget those scenes. Scream 1's finale was hilarious, funny and creepy. Without Lillard the whole movie wouldnt have worked that great
