What about the truck driver in Duel?

Or David Cronenberg's psychiatrist in Nightbreed

[SlimJim16v]

Jack Palance's hired gun character in Shane.

Most of The Dirty Dozen, especially Telly Savalas.

Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.

[croyde]

The Nazi officer from Inglorious Bstards.

[Alex]

Jake the Muss from Once Were Warriors.

[pidsy]

Sheriff Dan Andersson- fortitude.

Don Logan all day long for me as well.

Every single thing about him is weird, ferocious and unsettling. There's never been a performance quite like that one.

Ben Kingsley said he based it largely on his grandmother.

Apparently there's going to be a Sexy Beast prequel TV show. No idea who they're going to get to play him.

I'd second Don Logan (well done sir Ben)

How about Richard Attenborough, in 10 Rillington Place.

[GAjon]

Sammy from the film The Business played by Geoff Bell.

That's a good one - he comes across as completely unhinged. Like he'd cut you up if you so much as looked at him wrong.

Really? I always thought of the character as a decent chap, if a touch revengy. Terrifying to those that crossed him but generally a good guy.

Sean Harris in every thing he has been in!
Even his voice is scary.
