“Homeland” – Season 03 HD Screencaps & Stills

Bill appeared in the season three season of HOMELAND as White House Chief of Staff Michael Higgins. This was an excellent show, however, Bill’s character had the bad joss to be sitting next to DarAdol (F. Murray Abraham). His scenes with Mandy Patinkin as Saul Berenson were amazing. I always love seeing my favourite actors in my favourite shows. Makes them all the more special…. and Bill is special.

“The Green Mile” – HD Screencaps & Media

According to Bill this was if not the most traumatic of his films to make. Given the subject matter and that he and his wife, Marni, had just had a daughter almost the same age of the two daughters Klaus Detterick finds murdered. THE GREEN MILE was for Bill the second of his films he made with director Frank Darabont and the second based off of a Stephen King best seller. The other two would be THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION where Bill played Heywood, and THE MIST where Bill played Jim Grondin. If you want to read what Bill had to say about filming this movie, please check out the article here: Why William Sadler’s Green Mile Scene Was The Hardest Thing He Ever Had To Film. This film is one of the reasons I admire Bill as I do. The level of emotions and dedication to presenting the grief a father would feel in this type of situation is heartbreaking. Also I gotta say it, Bill looks beautiful in this film. He simply looks beautiful.

“Confess” – HD Screencaps & Media

This is an indie film Bill did in 2005 where he plays the part of a shady senator named Roger Lampert. The title of the film is CONFESS and may I say Bill appears largely in the nude and looks amazing while doing it. This wasn’t the upload I was planning on making, however, after a ton of stupid mistakes I abandoned the other project I was working on and went the easy route. Hope you don’t mind. Included are Bill’s limited scenes.

“Rush” – HD Screencaps & Media

Bill was just plain creepy as Monroe in this 1991 film RUSH. The whole film is depressing and sad, but Bill’s one scene is enough. The performances were amazing and the ending is one to remember….an ending I won’t give away in case you haven’t seen it. I am including Bill’s only scene because it’s not that long. And gotta say it, Bill looks very good in those overalls. Even the tattoos look good, though thank the gods they’re rub ons. I’ve also included the opening credits to Bill’s then the final credits including the song Help Me Up written and performed by Eric Clapton. Please click on the links below.

Filed under CHARACTERS Michael Flynn TELEVISION The Comey Rule WILLIAM SADLER

“The Comey Rule” – HD Screencaps

Bill plays the part of Ret. General Michael Flynn in this true adaptation of the James Comey book A Higher Loyalty. In THE COMEY RULE Bill was inspired in his role. He plays Flynn as if he was nothing but a stooge. In the scene where Flynn first meets Russian president Vladimir Putin (Stass Klassen), it seems Flynn is a bit too enamoured of the despot. The scene is likely the lead-up to the infamous dinner Flynn sat in on before the 2016 election. Bill is kind of funny as Flynn, almost depicting him as a member of the Keystone Cops instead of a seasoned military man. I was a bit torn between two scenes to use for the featured post image, so I chose two. The first is his looking at a portrait of Russia Tsar Peter The Great from episode one, and the other when Flynn is enjoying what looks like a brownie. I hope Bill doesn’t mind my choosing these two images, but they sort of chose themselves.
