Brian Downey plays "Stanley Tweedle," bumbling nebbish and former revolutionary, in the dark science fiction comedy series Lexx.

Stanley was an utterly unexceptional low-grade security guard in the Divine Order, the 20,000-planet empire ruled by the malevolent Divine Shadow.

As it turns out, he also had a history of covert resistance against the Shadow. Unfortunately, his involvement with said rebellion was largely counterproductive, eventually putting the greatest weapon ever created, the Lexx, directly into the galactic tyrant's hands.

After stealing the Lexx back in an absurd chain of coincidence, Stanley now wanders the universe with Xev, 790 and Kai.

The fact that the gigantic insectoid spaceship-weapon Lexx refuses to obey anyone but Stanley fills him with an undeserved sense of pride and responsibility.

Brian Downey, meanwhile, is far more competent than the character he portrays. He has appeared in several Canadian television series and films, and may be best known to U.S. viewers for his recurring role as "Mr. Dean" on the cult series Millennium.
