Dante’s Peak (1997)
Roger Donaldson's 1997 volcano disaster. Pierce Brosnan as volcanologist.
Actor: Charles Hallahan
Charles Hallahan played Norris in The Thing, whose chest sequence is the film’s most famous practical effect and the moment the audience learns the rules are worse than expected.
Dante’s Peak, Silverado and Pale Rider fill out the film work, and he appeared extensively in television as officials and officers.
He worked steadily for two decades until his death in 1997 at fifty, and the Thing role remains what he is known for.
