    There was an accidental clause put in legislation that he was required to play every state senator and irish priest role in made for tv movies

    He was Senator Riegle in Thanks To A Grateful Nation and Senator Rafe Framingham in an episode of The West Wing as well as Father Dominic Spagnolia (an Italian priest) in Our Fathers but I think that's it?

    It deserved it's full title:pac:
    Plus the full title of the first movie is not just F/X, but F/X: Murder By Illusion. Far better.

    I remember him in a movie called 'Bestseller' thought it was brilliant at the time.
