Alfred Hitchcock - loved his cameos. Rock Hudson was a great great comedian. His best comedy was "Man's Favorite Sport". Rex Harrison - prime example was My Fair Lady.
I've come to conclude that Tom Cruise is surprisingly a very good actor. Did you see him in Magnolia? Wow. Or Born on the 4th of July? Excellent.
You’ve obviously forgot about Jack Elam, especially earlier in his career. Now THERE was the quintessential bad guy. Interestingly, he was a studio accountant until someone thought he make the perfect bad guy.....he definitely looked more like a bad guy than an accountant......
Was Bruce Dern specifically listed as a "bad guy"?...if not, I won this election because your ballot was postmarked after Nov 3rd.
Yeah, he was one of those guys who always seemed cast as "the bad guy". I do however remember a space movie he did and I guess he was a good guy in that one...can't remember the name of the movie but he was the only one on some space station in the future.
