Although he never had a leading role, Craig Richard Nelson was often times the one actor that would be remembered long after the final credits. Often cast as the snobbish outsider, his characters brought conflict and tension to many movies and television shows throughout the 1970's, '80's and '90's.
His first film role was as the mean-spirited law student, Willis Bell, in the Oscar nominated, The Paper Chase, and from there he managed to bounce back and forth from film to the small screen with memorable moments from many popular movies and television shows like My Bodyguard, Square Pegs and Star Trek: The Next Generation, just to name a few.
However his best work was with director Robert Altman where he had supporting roles in three of his films, with his most memorable, the little seen, A Wedding, where he played a pivotal part in one of the most powerful shower scenes since Psycho.
