Max Headroom Joins 'Watchmen' Cast

It's a shame that, at any given point, there are a fairly limited number of strong roles for bald, kind of annoying guys who are growing gaunter and harder to stare at with each passing moment. Because as much as I like to see Max Headroom himself, Matt Frewer, on screen, I never seem to find him outside of voice work and an occasional guest spot (and, of course, in my daily viewings of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids).

Thankfully, Zack Snyder has recognized a way to use Frewer's unique, dying look in a high-profile film: as the cancer-stricken, demonic-looking villain Moloch in Watchmen. I can't wait to see this boney head on screen. Seriously.
