De naam David Warner zal bij de meeste bezoekers van Eigenwereld.nl geen belletje doen rinkelen, maar de enkele film nerds weten uiteraard gelijk over wie ik het hebt. Want deze legendarische acteur speelde oa Jor-El in Superman, Planet of the Apes, Star Trek en mijn favoriet: Ed Dillinger en de stem van Master Control Program in de originele Tron. De volledige lijst kan je hier vinden.

While not as nerdy as asking aliens where the Holy Grail is, creating a tiny version of yourself that lives in a computer and races motorcycles is certainly up there. And Warner doesn't just play the evil computer programmer and his evil digital avatar -- he also provides the voice of the Master Control Program, a giant spinning supercomputer who wants to take over the world. For playing the father, the son and the Holy Ghost of Tron -- a movie so nerdy that nerds were still talking about it 25 years later and somehow managed to convince Disney to make a sequel to it -- Warner has long ago cemented his position as the Pope of Nerds. Bow down and pledge your fealty to him.
