That's mighty rich, Serling calling Rooney a runt, a "small man". Rod is what... a whole half-millimeter taller than Rooney? Are we to suspect that Rod may have projected some of his own small-man complexes onto the character?
An awful episode that is basically a rehash of "Nervous Man In a 4-Dollar Room", and just as dull.
Rooney hams it up "all the way to 11". This "performance" may have served as a blueprint to kick-start the careers of infamous overactors John Travolta and Nick Cage.
Even worse than Rooney's grimaces is the voice he provides for his sociopathic alter ego, in which his overacting is appropriately mirrored with his "overspeaking". The voice is full of lame, low-tier sarcasm. Pretty awful.
These overly theatrical mono-setting episodes are usually the worst. If you're shooting TV or film, then do either TV or film. Cheesy theater isn't what anyone needs in shows like TZ.
