Still, no performance has loomed larger over his career than his darkly comedic and ferocious turn as Stu Macher in Wes Craven's 1996 slasher classic Scream-a role that helped define an entire horror generation. Despite the character's lasting impact, Lillard has been candid about his personal distance from the role.
