Great list! Even though I disagree with a few, particularly:
> Worst Character:
> 1. Alvarez
> 2. Keller
Keller rocks! Why don't you like him?
> Best Actor
> 1. Beecher
> 2. Said
Can't argue with this, they're both great.
> Worst Actor
> 1. Kenny a.k.a Bricks (I got it right!)
> 2. Leo Glen
Oh God, I am *so* with you on this, particularly Kenny. "Bricks" must
die. Or at least continue to share a pod with Adebisi.
> Best Character (but not seen enough of)
> 1. Raul Hernandez a.k.a El CID
> 2. Arnold Jackson a.k.a Poet
Gotta disagree with El Cid. In my opinion, we see *waaaaaay* too much of
this annoying little psychopath.
> Strangest murder
> 1. Yuri Kosigyn stabbing Cuttney in the neck with his glasses
> 2. Beecher slashing Metzger with his fingernails
And was #2 completely implausible or what?

I don't think he contributes much to 'OZ'. I admit he is fairly new, but
he's not a very interesting character - he's abit 'ordinary', in my opnion.
Plus, I don't like his acting.

I like EL CID, he's a cool character and a good actor. Unfortunately, the OZ
writers do not feature him enough in the storylines - he has never had a
central role in any storyline - which is disappointing.

Wow, to me he is so *not* ordinary. He's a cold-blooded killer with a
killer smile. He's like a wild animal pretending to be tamed. I find him
a fascinating character. His whole explanation to Sister Peter Marie of
why he needs Beecher to love him was simultaneously pitiful and
endearing.

True, so far his appearances have been linked only to Miguel's
storyline. He is a good actor, but I don't like the character. I guess I
just hate what he did to Miguel.

Wow.... to me, Alvarez is a great character. There's so much to him. Keller I
could live with or without but Alvarez is just so.... eek, I don't even know
the word.

How about Sean Murphy? I don't think we know that much about him yet. He
hasn't done much other than all that shit with O'Reily. I'd love to see more
of him (hmph!)

Another great choice. Eamonn Walker is excellent and commanding as
Said

> Worst Actor
> 1. Kenny a.k.a Bricks (I got it right!)He's said a few funny things. I hardly think he is the worst though. That thing when he had his wife and her lover killed was some devious evil. I have to like him for that.

BTW, I disagree about JD (Kenny Wangler) Williams being a bad actor. The

likeable at all. I thought Dino was going to be an enduring character.
He had everything great for a badass OZ character. To this day, I am
surprised they only gave Seda one episode.

>1. Kenny a.k.a Bricks (I got it right!)
Kenny's horrible, but I think JD's a really good actor. He's brilliant during
middle season 3, when he finds out his wife cheated on him, and he kills her
and her abusive boyfriend. I think that story could have been garbage without a
good performance in the center, and he made it work.

>Best Character (but not seen enough of)

I love Poet, we never get to see enough of him.
1. Poet
2. Sean Murphy
>Most Evil
1. Adebisi
2. Schillinger
>Most Shocking Scene
1. Beecher throwing the chair through Vern's plate-glass pod window.
2. The riot scenes, especially Ryan smashing a hack with grating, and that
overweight guy being tripped. The entire sequence made my pulse quicken.
3. Beecher's bones being broken.
>Most Annoying Character
1. That little punk who bunked with Ryan in part of season 2. Tommy?
2. Clayton Hughes.
>Best Non-Prisoner
1. Father Mukada
2. Diane

>Strangest murder
1. Ryan and Adebisi putting glass in Nino's food.
2. Beecher, Metzger, and the nails.

>Best Character to have a limited part in OZ:

I liked Snake. I wonder if season 3 would have been any different if he'd stuck
around.
1. Jefferson Keane. Incomparable. The story, the acting, it reached heights
I've rarely seen in television or film.
2. Judge Lima, the judge who sentenced Beecher.

It's Bricks! Get it right! Ha! Ha!
He's an okay character, but he couldn't act when he found out his wife was
cheating on him - you could tell he was struggling with that emotional scene
when his mum tells him the news.

True, he does act that scene well, but he just hasn't been involved in any
interesting storylines.
He has no 'style'!

SKA,
Annie and Katy are right. It's rather simple, why don't you just look it up
on any respectable website or newspaper article featuring OZ? I presume
that you have some modicum of Internet access, being able to parade around
Usenet telling people that they are "illiterate," so why can't you just look
it up? It's not that hard. Just to confirm it, here's the HBO OZ website,
with the character profile/show synopsis for Vern Schillinger:

Sheesh.

I know it's spelt with an 'e'. I was just experimenting to see what sort of
a response I got.
I wanted to know how big an issue it was that I got the spelling wrong!
I can't believe people can be so petty that they take the time to write an
email telling someone how to spell a name properly - don't you have anything
better to do? Obviously not!
There are some really annoying people on this newsgroup!
I bet someone will now respond to this posting - please don't bother - do
something more worthwhile with your time.
