The KING of supporting roles in Epics!


My buddy said it best-He never steals the show but is ALWAYS very good.

Monk in Gangs of New York.
Reynald De Chatillion in Kingdom of heaven.
Menelaus in Troy.
Hamish in Braveheart.
Stobrud in Cold Mountain.

Roles in A.I and MI 2 add to his list of blockbusters. See him in In my country where he steals the film from Jackson and Binoche...or his wonderfully sinister and corrupt van Meter in Dark Blue. This man started acting at 34 and despite being ginger,fat,a bit ugly and old,he eats up his competition and is one of the 20 best actors alive.

Agreed. Very impressive actor.

Very good! And I think he might have stolen the show in 4th Harry Potter
