IN OUR OPINION

Bruce Weitz (Anthony, GH)
|
October 23, 2007
From Joe Diliberto
"Has Anthony Zacchara had all his shots?" That thought has been running through my mind since Bruce Weitz made his first full appearance as GENERAL HOSPITAL's unhinged "crime lord" Anthony Zacchara. From his opening scene — brandishing a gun at Sonny and challenging his to a game of Russian roulette while babbling about gardening — Weitz has brought a larger-than-life, manic energy to the role that makes Zacchara seem like a loose cannon, but one that doesn't feel out of control. Weitz is best-known as Sgt. Mick Belker, the barking-mad undercover detective from HILL STREET BLUES, and he is clearly having fun with the role. Bellowing his lines yesterday made a fine contrast with Maurice Benard's efforts to keep Sonny low-key. In fact, Sonny seemed genuinely frightened when Zacchara threatened Michael and Morgan. Today, Zacchara had some quieter scenes with rebellious son Johnny, but Big Daddy was still no less kooky. He noted his son's resemblance to his mother — then wished the boy had died instead of his wife. And surely Anthony Zacchara delivered the most blunt fatherly dating advice of 2007: In warning Johnny away from Lulu, he said, "I'll never let some bitch betray you."
When Sonny scrambled back to Port Charles to confront Trevor, he described Zacchara thusly: "He's a nutjob!" Well, I for one can’t wait to see more of this blustering, lively nutjob. My only question: How long until Zacchara stops chewing the scenery and bites someone?
