[edit] Boomer

I recall from the St. Elsewhere days that his character was given the nickname "Boomer" as an in-joke, since Morse had tried out for (and failed to get) the lead in Here's Boomer. Nothing found with an online search, though, connecting him to the show in any way. Maybe somebody has an old TV Guide? --Dhartung | Talk 09:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Type Cast?

Anyone think David Morse is type cast as a jerk or sadistic creep? Just look at his recent films or television shows. He plays the bad guy that is unyieldingly unsympathetic. Even "Dancer in the Darkness" showed him as a jerk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.140.69 (talk) 18:30, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Despite his early days as the kind hearted Boomer on St. Elsewhere, he sure has had a pattern of playing creepy characters. It's not an encyclopedic fact, but maybe it has a place in this article. Has he made some sort of public statement about the type of character he prefers? --98.209.0.57 (talk) 14:57, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
