John Noble / Walter Bishop #6 -Because he has some of the most memorable and funniest quotes on the show.





Biography

John Noble (born August 20, 1948) is an Australian film, television actor, and theatre director of more than 80 plays. He was born in Port Pirie, South Australia, Australia.

He makes occasional appearances on the television series All Saints. He is internationally best known for his performance as Denethor in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King film. His latest films are White Noise: The Light and One Night with the King. He has recently been cast as scientist Walter Bishop in the J. J. Abrams television series Fringe. He stands 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) in height.

While at the after-party for the Hollywood premiere of One Night with the King, Mr. Noble commented on his famous scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King where Denethor was disgustingly eating while Peregrin Took was singing for him. He said that when he read the script he thought that the scene, if played well, could "very well be among the best scenes" ever performed in motion picture history.[citation needed]

He played Russian Consul Anatoly Markov in the sixth season of the American television series 24.

He was also:

* Artistic Director of Stage Company of South Australia 1977-1987
* Head of Drama, Brent St. School of Arts (Sydney) 1997-2000

SEASON ONE FAVORITE WALTER’S QUOTES

Please vote for your LEAST FAVORITE quote. Each round will last 24 hours, and the scene with the highest number of votes at the end of each round will get eliminated until there is a winner.

Note: if necessary ? is the designated tiebreaker for this survivor.

ROUND 4

Round 4 ends on Sunday at 11 PM


Pilot

Quote 1



WALTER: They have this horrible ... pudding here. Butterscotch pudding on Mondays, it's dreadful.
OLIVIA: It's Thursday.
WALTER: Oh!? Fantastic news.


Quote 2



So much happened here. So much is about to.

Quote 3



The only thing better than a cow is a human! Unless you need milk. Then you really need a cow.

Quote 4



Excellent! Let's make some LSD!


Episode 2: “The Same old Story”

Quote 6



Walter: "It's one of the inherent pitfalls of being a scientist - trying to maintain that distinction... between God's domain and our own. Sometimes, I forget myself."

Quote 7



(Regarding his discovery of the seat warmers in the car) I've never seen a feature like this before. It warms your ass. It's wonderful! Have you tried it?

Quote 8



WALTER TO PETER & OLIVIA: Even condoms are not 100% effective. You two should be aware of this.

Quote 9



WALTER TO PETER: I thought you had a way with women?

Episode 3: "The Ghost Network"

Quote 10



Peter: You brought your own sweetener?
Walter : Don't be ridiculous. My medication.
Peter: You're not on any medication, Walter.
Walter : Of course I am. I've been making it myself in the lab.


Quote 11



Astrid: Wait, you want to rewire his brain?
Walter : Not without his permission. It would be a minor surgery.


Quote 12



BROYLES: I have a hard time accepting that that man is hearing another person's thoughts.
WALTER: So do I, which is why I would like to prove it.
BROYLES: And how would you do that?
WALTER: Am I required to keep him alive?
OLIVIA: That would probably be best.


Quote 13



Walter: "I think it's time for some intracranial penetration. This won't hurt… just feel a touch odd." - (to a former test subject, as he begins to drill through his skull)

Episode 4: “The Arrival”

Quote 14



"Must you always be so small-minded? Damn it, don't be like her. Like your mother. Questioning my judgment."


Episode 6: "The Cure"

Quote 15



To understand what happened at the diner, we'll use Mr. Papaya. This is upsetting, because he is the friendliest of fruits. And we have gooification.
"Either that, or she had a proclivity for sexual bondage. Scientific observation, not a judgment. Some of my fondest memories..."


Episode 7: “In Which we meet Mr. Jones”

Quote 16



"Excellent work, son. You may have found your true calling at last. Working with me."

Quote 17



WALTER (ON ASTRID'S CELL PHONE): Uh, hello, Peter. This is me, your father, Walter Bishop.

Quote 18



WALTER: Does he still have his head? Is it still attached to his body?

Quote 19



WALTER TO PETER: Oh, look, Peter. He's talking to you. [light bulb explodes] I suppose it's a good thing it wasn't attached to your head.

Episode 9: "The Dreamscape"

Quote 20



Olivia: How long is this going to take?
Walter: Miss Dunham, what we're doing, what you have asked me to do, is pushing the boundaries of all that is real and possible. We're not roasting a turkey.


Quote 21



WALTER smiles slightly: Uh, oh.
OLIVIA: What?
WALTER: I just got an erection. Oh, fear not. It's nothing to do with your state of undress. I just simply need to urinate.
OLIVIA says sarcastically: That's good to know.


Quote 22



OLIVIA: Walter, what was the Bible for?
WALTER: Well, you're taking untested psychedelics, lying in saline with an electrical charge in the base of your cranium. Among other things, I thought it appropriate to pray you don't get electrocuted.
OLIVIA: Praise the Lord!


Episode 12: "The No-Brainer"

Quote 23



Walter: With all due respect, Darwin got it all wrong. I used to make the joke that Darwin's thinking was rather ... unevolved.
Peter: Which I'm sure used to be very funny.


Episode 15: "Inner Child"

Quote 24



Walter: Unless you have an IQ higher than mine, I am not interested in what you think.

Quote 25



Walter: Peter, don't be such a prude. I'm sure Agent Dunham knows what a penis looks like. Don't you, Agent Dunham?


Episode 16: "Unleashed"

Quote 27



Astrid: So this thing has the claws of a lion and the fangs of a snake?
Walter: It reminds me of a woman I once knew in Cleveland.


Quote 28



Peter: Are you okay?
Walter: Yes. Although when I mentioned that the poison would kill me within the hour, did either of you happen to notice the time?


Episode 17: "Bad Dreams"

Quote 29



Walter: I thought you might have teleported to New York in your sleep and killed her. Wouldn't that have been wondrous?


Episode 19: "The Road Not Taken"

Quote 31



Walter: It's possible we're dealing with a case of spontaneous human combustion.
Peter: I thought that was just a myth.
Walter: Oh, a myth is just an unverified fact.


Quote 32



Olivia: I feel like I'm losing my mind.
Walter: Oh, I don't think so. If you were actually going insane, you'd likely have no idea what's happening. Take it from me.


Episode 20: "There's More Than One of Everything"

Quote 33



Olivia: What are you doing here?
Walter: We're trying to plug a hole in the universe. What are you doing here?
