The Big Picture Before Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge gifted the unworthy people of this world with the life-altering Hot Priest , there was The Exorcist. Director William Friedkin's meticulous masterpiece of psychological horror hinges upon its characters.
As modern audiences know, history was made. Miller scored an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for The Exorcist while his break-out 1972 play That Championship Season took home both the Drama Pulitzer Prize and the 1973 Tony Award for Best Play. Father Damien Karras isn't a character one soon forgets even among a cast of household names that were former unknowns before The Exorcist induced a cultural firestorm.
Tragically, Karras's mother passes away, which leaves him further incapacitated by drunken, messy grief. He regrets not being by his mother's side when she died, plus the unspoken guilt of failing to provide her with a more comfortable life. As a Jesuit, a clerical order explicitly devoted to acts of selfless service, that moral defeat must hit extra deep. Damien has nightmares and mourns with a mop of black hair and soulful brown eyes as endless as a shadow-obscured well.
