Ladies And Gentlemen, I Present ODX

Singer/songwriter/actor Paul Williams (as the blue creature ODX) performs a memorable scene from Shakespeare's "Macbeth" with the incorrigible Liam Gallagher. From the Buck Rogers episode "Journey to Oasis, Part 2" on hulu.com.

He's not in the IMDB for this? And I couldn't find it anywhere else on the web, and it doesn't sound like him, and he was actually a little bigger. Do you have another source?

This reminds me of paul williams' only starring vehicle, "Phantom of the Paradise". Let's revisit the scene of the awesomest concert ever:

This was released in 1974, so it was probably influenced by KISS and alice cooper. But check out the pre-GWAR theatrics of decapitating audience members.

Just to clarify, despite what I said earlier, that is NOT Paul Williams under the latex. It's the same midget actor who played Twiki, the robot with a Joey Lawrence bowl haircut.

Really? Because I heard that he not only played ODX, but also the role of Wicket the Ewok in "Return of the Jedi" and Chongo in "Land of the Lost". He's a natural for portraying freakish creatures not of this earth.

And now, another performance from "beef":

Sorry, I meant "chaka", not "chongo".
