Presaging a turn as Omar Suarez in Scarface. Very badass presence here. He just knew how to play a badass.

Did he ever! I have never forgotten the malevolent detective he played in Serpico. And I saw it when it first came out!

Not even listed in the credits!

It's that man again!!

He was great in this, very effective.

His performance in Amadeus might be one of the best acting performances I’ve ever seen, one of the most well deserved oscars ever.
