His Best Character


I have to say it's ROY O'BANNON from the Shanghai movies.
Agree?
If you haven't seen Shanghai Noon or Shanghai Knights, do yourself a favor and rent them or buy them, 'cause Owen steals the show both times.


Remember, I'm NOT saying that these are his best MOVIES (altough I might say as well) I'm saying that Roy is his best CHARACTER.

I like the Shanghai movies, and Roy O'Bannon is a GREAT character, but for me, it's a toss-up between Dignan from Bottle Rocket, and Hansel from Zoolander. That said, I have liked almost every movie and every character he's done, even Vann in Minus Man.

Funny thing about him. You think about any film and you end up thinking that's his best role. But his character in The Darjeeling Limited was a surprise - one of his best. Just his eyes while he unwraps his bandages and says he needs to heal some more - just great.

Dignan (Bottle Rocket) followed by Eli Cash (The Royal Tenenbaums) & Vann (The Minus Man)

My vote is for Dignan in Bottle Rocket. Second is Francis from Darjeeling Limited.
