    You may be surprised to notice that this is Charles Napier, who has since played roles that have had nothing to do with this one

      Well aware, but speaks to the diversity of his acting. Loved his character in The Goods. RIP

    The purple-haired one (who apparently is called Tongo Rad) kind of looks like a Boimler.

    Unfortunately, he’s canonically not human, but if he were, it would have been really funny to have a throwaway line about Boimler’s great-great grandfather being “in a weird cult of space hippies searching for Eden or something.”

      Fair. I enjoy it as a character study of an asshole who believes he’s doing humanity a favor. Not to mention, J.K. Simmons is a great character and voice actor. He’s the Yellow M&M, after all.
