Why Jack Colvin is my favorite television actor.

Many of you probably wonder who Jack Colvin is. His most famous role was that of reporter Jack McGee in the Tv series The Incredible Hulk.

Jack was a phenomenal actor and my favorite television actor because of the way he played his charater Jack McGee. When the Incredible Hulk first aired the fans like most fans of a series cheered for the protagonist and despised the antagonist. Well as the series progressed fans started to sympathize with McGee. This was because Jack Colvin could portray McGee as a character who on the surface seemed like he was in control of his life and that when he had to he wouldnt allow his obsession with the hulk to consume him, so he gave the audience this false hope that McGee isnt a slave to his obsession all while knowing that the audience knows deep down that Jack McGee is completely driven and consumed by his obsession. As the series progressed the audience started to see Jack McGee as less of an antagonist and more of an anti hero or as someone they could symphasize with, many people began to actually wish that McGee would discover that David Banner was alive and that he was the hulk. Colvin was PHENOMENAl because of this abillity. One of the few actors who could bring the audince onto their side and wish they achieved their goal. Jack Colvin is my favorite televison actor because his character of McGee reminds me of myself. I'm very obsessive and sometimes the things I obsess and fixate on can consume my thoughts, but on the surface it looks like I have everything together.

Sadly Jack Colvin died in 2005. After the hulk he acted in movies and tv shows but nothing major after that really. He taught the Checkov method of acting at several colleges for most of his life. It's a shame because he was such a talented actor!
