I know this isn't as impressive, but he was also the featured guest star in a Fringe episode called "White Tulip", which was probably the best episode that show ever did and is possibly one of the finest episodes of sci-fi television ever made.

Without spoilers, why is it your favorite episode of all time?

A one off, but heart wrenching plot that actually gets called back to later in the series. Plus, Robocop.

Peter Weller was always a fine actor but in his later years, he’s developed a real gravity. Watching him and John Noble play off one another was a real treat.

Plus, it was a solid sci-fi story with real emotional underpinnings.

What the others said: It manages to establish real emotional stakes—and pay them off in a poignant, understated way—all in a single hour of television.

And watching Peter Weller and John Noble share scenes together was fantastic.

In which he plays a college professor, no less.

Oh my gosh. I totally forgot about that show. I need to rewatch it.

Sounds like I should give it a go. Not sure why I haven't before.
