| 62 | !!Tropes associated with this actor: |

| 66 | * PintsizedPowerhouse: He's 5 feet 5 inches and has blackbelts in UsefulNotes/{{Taekwondo}} and kenpo. Quite fitting for Rorschach. |
| 67 | * PromotedFanboy: He was very honored to find ''Watchmen'' fans started an online petition for him to play Rorschach, and that it actually came true. |

| 70 | ** The only real major aversion to this would be devotees to ''Creator/HannaBarbera'' and/or ''Creator/FullMoonStudios'' who would be likely to have known his name from his work in ''WesternAnimation/ValleyOfTheDinosaurs'' or ''WesternAnimation/WaitTillYourFatherGetsHome'' or the movie Dollman. |
