veteran, good or bad guy played well, can be a goofy character, tends to play non-conforming roles

7.0

By limbodrive, Aug 06, 2007

This guy is a veteran actor with over 60 films done. I just saw him on The Crow: Salvation playing a crooked cop. I remember him in Tremors best. He can do a broad range of characters. I have seen 4 of the top 10 here and more. He appears pretty much the same in every role. I don't think it would be difficult to recognize him on the street. He has a somewhat deep voice. He can make a commanding presence without being too threatening. He has one Producer credit to his name. It's been awhile, but I saw him in Escape from Alcatraz with Clint Eastwood.moreless
