To be honest, I pretty much only know him from From Dusk Till Dawn (and now Identity, which I saw tonight) but I loved him so much in that movie that I have to have him in my favourites list. "I NEVER SAID HELP US!!"

GREAT FACE! ...Continue »
John Hawkes has the best face for the screen! Certainly not handsome but better! Tons of character; his Sol Starr in Deadwood carries the show in his simple and understated quietude. This guy rocks....first saw him on an X-Files episode where he was Scully-obsessed and have never forgotten that visage.
