By "roles" I mean playing a different character, and in a different piece of media; someone playing one character across a franchise only counts as one thing for the purposes of this poll, as does playing multiple characters in one franchise/piece of media

Below are some of this actor's roles. Please only check after voting!

Re-Animator films as Herbert West

Star Trek franchise as various, including Weyoun, Brunt, and Shran

Justice League Unlimited as The Question (voice role)

Would You Rather as Shepard Lambrick

Hello gay people (Re-Animator fans)...

I bring news. We have been bamboozled. Hoodwinked! By whomst you ask? Well, ourselves...

So, we all know the iconic scene where Herbert beheads Dr. Hill with the shovel, and spits the iconic, "Plagiarist!" line. It's funny and very in-character for Herbert West.

It's been included in many-a-gifset, for example:

Well, what if I told you...

Nope...turns out the entire time he says,

"Laid to rest."

I discovered this when putting together an integral cut of the film with CC (DM me if you want the link!). I sourced all existing clips and CC from the Arrow DVD release from 2012 and when I got to this scene was shocked to see, "laid to rest," and not "plagiarist." I thought maybe it could have been an error in the CC, so first I took a closer look at the clip:

When Jeff delivers the line, his lips don't touch to make the "P" sound.

Okay, well I could be hearing wrong, it could be off-sync audio, or it could've been ADR/looped incorrectly in post. All valid points. Which is why, I cross-referenced the CC on other platforms. And...

Both Tubi (top) and Apple (bottom) caption it "laid to rest"

But we don't stop there! For further confirmation why, let's check out to see how the novelization did this scene. And...

"...Laid to rest."

(shout out @nemeyuko for the Apple screenshot and novelezation screenshot; they made a post about this as well here!)

And if you're still not convinced, I regret to inform that going back to THE SOURCE - the original screenplay - is a dead end. The scene was not originally scripted with dialogue so this line was either improvised by Jeff, or work shopped between him and Stuart Gordon on set or in-post.

In conclusion:

Pack it up boys, we have Mandela Effected ourselves.

This is the biggest Reani fandom scandal since the Fellactio Tapes™

i feel the need to point this out. that one scene in the bride of the reanimator where dan comes home is giving the aura of "honey, im home" like their a married couple living together. face it, they secretly are.
