You know which very minor character in the first Tron film needs more love? This guy:
Dillinger's assistant who greets him when he enters his office, and who Dillinger dismisses with "Thank you, Peter, you can go now." Just look at that nice suit and red tie! Anyway, the same actor has another role in the film, as Sark's main underling (which suggests to me that Peter created the Program in question. He's not just a pretty face, he knows how to program too!):
He's never given a name, the Tron wiki refers to him simply as "Sark's Lieutenant". His role seems mainly to be getting abused by Sark, verbally with such funny insults as "bit brain" and "null unit"...
...and sometimes physically as well:
And his final fate is to get surprised by Tron's disc and derezzed before he can do anything to fight back:
In a way, he feels like something of a predecessor to Jarvis in Tron Legacy, though with far less personality and screentime. I can't help but feel a little sorry for him, he seems to have lived a pretty miserable life as a Program. The Tron wiki does note one interesting aspect regarding his physical appearance: "Sark's Lieutenant was the only program in the ENCOM system with visible circuits on the skin of his neck, not just on his suit." It's not very apparent (possibly it's some kind of special effects mistake), but look at his neck in this closeup:
The wiki notes that the only other Program (not ISO) with such skin circuitry is Cyrus. Which is enough for me to start speculating headcanons. Are they related? Is Cyrus a copy of this Program, and Tron felt sorry for him when he met him again, and therefore decided to take him under his wing as the first Renegade? Is the fact that Tron derezzed him the first time they met the reason Cyrus goes crazy?
Anyway, the actor who played the Lieutenant/Peter is a guy named Stuart Thomas, credited as "Tony Stephano". Let's do a quick search to see what else he's done...
Oh. Oh my.

Oh baby gnaw me down to the bone
Soon you'll find I'm never gonna take you back home
Well there's so much you never told me
And there's not much I want to know
'Cause your pretty little face will do just fine
You'll be the star of my very last show
Let's go for a long ride
I'll show you places you won't ever want to leave

The Lawrence Tierney Centennial
Well, how delightful that Lawrence Tierney (1919-2002) was born two days before St. Patrick’s Day! One pictures him starting his annual birthday bender and maintaining it straight through the annual St. Patrick’s bender without breaking a stride and then getting sprung from the annual stopover in the pokey come first of Spring. Tierney must have set some kind of record for actors getting in…

There is a type of anime enemy who I can categorize as: "Yes, you're strong and you give the good guys a challenge, but you're such an annoying punk with stupid gimmicks and personality of a chipmunk, and I can't wait until you get defeated."
Dillinger and Lao G are such characters.
