Actor Pierce Brosnan in Mars Attacks  

Actor, Pierce Brosnan, plays a role in this science fiction spoof.  Mars Attacks, 1996, has an all-star cast with a well-known and proven director.

Brosnan, as the professor with the pipe in his mouth, is a fun character to watch.  The entire movie and its premise has many opportunities to show "dark humor."

All the characters are introduced in brief segments.  Each character is unique and some have certain quirks, such as Sarah Jessica Parker and her polka dot chair, Michael J. Fox as the jealous partner, Martin Short as the President’s right hand man but picks up ladies of the street, Jack Black with his overblown ego because of a doting mother, Pierce Brosnan and his comic and out of proportion pipe.  The pipe sticks out just a bit too long.  There’s Danny Devito, the gambler, and Glenn Close as a spoiled first lady, Annette Bening as an alcoholic airhead who has high-horse beliefs of the environment but does nothing about it, and instead takes the chips from her husband to go gambling.  Still, her character tries to practice "higher" views while married to a greedy man.  And finally, there’s Jack Nicholson as the President and Benning’s husband as the cowboy “who has never seen a cow” kind of character. 

All these characters are definitely interesting and the stars play their parts well and they show their talents.  This includes those pesky, underhanded martians who must face the consequences of their ways.

Pierce Brosnan appears to be having fun with his role and once again, he plays a part that is different from his previous roles and for an actor, as he has stated himself, that is heaven enough.
