    He was so great in everything. Just recently watched him in THE MIGHTY QUINN - where he was playing a sleazeball, of course.
    Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

      The very epitome of the scene stealing character actor. Equally great at menace and comedy. Blood Simple would not be the masterpiece that it is without him. RIP.

        What a great career, this guy worked steady for the better part of 40 years. And yes, Blood Simple was the one I immediately thought of. R.I.P.

          He was in one of my favourite "Tales from the Crypt" episodes too. It was the one where he started using his wife's pets to practice his newfound taxidermy hobby.

            He's so good in everything. My favorite was RED SCORPION with Dolph, "Fuckin' A!"
            And the crazy guy shooting up the gas station in THE JERK.

            RIP

              He was also in the 'Toes' episode of Tim & Eric's Bedtime Stories.

                It's hard to believe that Adult Swim Canada actually aired that at one time. Now that channel is just pathetic, an endless loop of Family Guy and Bob's Burgers reruns.
