Obviously, everyone identifies Pinchot with Perfect Strangers. And that's all well and good, BUT a) it doesn't get you points on the "serious acting" resume and b) this was further accented by his role in "Second Sight", where he plaid a loony psychic.
But the thing is, the guy is GOOD. He was the only thing really really decent in Stephen King's otherwise disastrous Langoliers (1995). More recently, he has been a Broadway stage performer of fine caliber, getting rave (serious) reviews.
So what's wrong with this picture?
Well, I'm really not sure whether it's his choices, his agent or simply that no one has trusted the man enough to carry the ball, but he never made "that" move in becoming a recognised believable TV/movie actor (entries like "Kung Fu and Titties" (2012) don't help).
He is now immersed in his house restoration reality show "The Bronson Pinchot Project", the "Perfect Strangers" homage Flash video game is a hit and there are talks of wanting to do a PS reunion, so it's not all that bad for him... Still, one has to wonder (and regret) that his potential has never been used properly.
