He had an awesome role as a rogue Captain on Star Trek Voyager. Very memorable performance....and an unusual but not unhandsome face.
Yes, he was indeed great in that role. He was super in an episode of
The X-Files. I forgot to mention his great performance in
The Onion Field (1979) where he was outstanding, but it's such a tough movie to watch. He was also great in a fine TV-movie,
Coming Out of the Ice (1982), where he played a man being sent to a Russian gulag for decades. Willie Nelson, of all people, co-starred with him and was good. I really want to see that one again. He's also in
Salvador (1986),
Do the Right Thing (1989),
The Crossing Guard (1995),
White Squall (1996),
The Thin Red Line (1998), and
Summer of Sam (1999). The only one of those I've seen is
The Thin Red Line and I despised that movie, and don't even remember Savage being in it. He's also in
Bad Company (1972),
Steelyard Blues (1973), and
Cattle Annie and Little Britches (1980), all of which I want to see.
And @
Captain Steel might know this---John Savage was in the TV-movie
All the Kind Strangers (1974), which he and I have discussed lately.
