“that guy from “Arthur””?!?!?!?!?!? BLASPHEMY!

The character’s name was Hopson, and he was played to pitch-perfect-perfection by the one and only SIR John Gielgud. Sorry, but I couldn’t let that one pass as he’s one of my all time favorite characters in films.

“If projectile vomiting ever becomes an Olympic event, you’ll do your country pround!”- “Arthur II: On The Rocks”.

And of course, this all time classic dismissal, “Hopson, do you know what I’m going to do?” “No sir, I don’t.” “I’m going to take a bath.” “I shall ALERT the media!” “Would you like to scrub my back for me?” “Oh, it’s what I LIVE for.” [Arthur walks down towards the bathroom, and as soon as he's out of earshot, Hobson delivers his crowning masterpiece with JUST the right ammount of sarcasim and disdain] (To Himself) “Perhaps you’d like me to scrub your dick for you….you little shit.” -”Arthur”

The role was good enough to earn him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1981.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the list, I just HAD to show some Hobson love!

Plus Randal from the animated series was a different sort of beast from his cinematic counterpart. He was more prone to cause problems and brushing it off like it wasn’t his fault in the animated series

@Zarkoth: The rest of the list comes from TV shows, so having him be from the Animated Series makes sense in context (as does having Wash be from Firefly rather than Serenity).

I’m a little confused as to why it’s Randal Graves from “Clerks: The Animated Series” and not just from “Clerks”…Just a little odd, as that’s where he originates, and where his best lines come from, IMHO.

Oh well. Great list!
