He is likely most known to two different generations for two notable roles. In the classic college comedy, ''[[National Lampoon's Animal House]]'' (1978), he played the sadistic [[ROTC]] leader "Doug Neidermeyer". He reprised this role in the [[Twisted Sister]] [[music video]]s "We're Not Gonna Take It" (as the father) and "I Wanna Rock" (as a high school teacher). In each video he used his ''Animal House'' [[catchphrase]]s, "A Twisted Sister '''''pin'''''?! On your '''''uniform'''''?!" and "You're all worthless and weak!" respectively. He portrayed a very similar character in the [[sitcom]] ''[[Teen Angel (TV series)|Teen Angel]]''. In the iconic police drama [[Hill Street Blues]] Metcalf had an early key role in the first series as brash Officer Harris, often clashing with gentle partner Officer Santini. However, the role was cut short when Metcalf's character was murdered in the episode 'Up in Arms'.<ref>See Metcalf's entry at [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0582420/ the imdb, here].</ref> In the 1997-2003 television show, ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', and its spinoff ''[[Angel (TV series)|Angel ]],'' Metcalf played the ancient [[vampire]] [[supervillain]], "[[The Master (Buffyverse)|The Master]]". Coincidentally, he also played a character called "the Maestro" on two episodes of ''[[Seinfeld]]''. Metcalf and his ex-wife, Libby, have one child, Julius. Mark now lives in [[Bayside, Wisconsin]] and works at [[First Stage Children's Theater]]. One of the plays he performed in was called 'True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.' He is a frequent guest on the [[Bob and Brian]] show, which airs on [[WHQG|WHQG-FM]] (102.9 The Hog). ==References== {{reflist}} ==External links== *{{imdb name|id=0582420|name=Mark Metcalf}} {{memoryalpha}} <!-- Metadata: see [[Wikipedia:Persondata]] --> {{Persondata |NAME=Metcalf, Mark |ALTERNATIVE NAMES= |SHORT DESCRIPTION=Actor |DATE OF BIRTH=[[March 12]], [[1946]] |PLACE OF BIRTH=[[Findlay, Ohio]], [[United States|U.S.]] |DATE OF DEATH= |PLACE OF DEATH= }} {{DEFAULTSORT:Metcalf, Mark}} [[Category:American film actors]] [[Category:American television actors]] [[Category:1946 births]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:People from Findlay, Ohio]]
