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.
SB was in TV last week and I ended up watching the maddest bits in the middle with the sound off.Every single thing about him is weird, ferocious and unsettling. There's never been a performance quite like that one.

Sir Ben is just as unsettling. I think it's he doesn't move his head much or avert his gaze.

The dwarf from Don't Look Now
The Tall, Thin Man character from The Boy From Space, some educational series (Look and Read?) that we watched in middle school. It still makes my blood run cold even now.

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.
I mean, he's obviously got a level of righteousness but that doesn't stop him from being absolutely f
king terrifying!The "YOU YOU
" response to being asked what he's looking at is probably my fave delivered line in any film. Just pure pyschotic anger rufusruffcutt said:

You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fkin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?
That scene is a masterpiece, going from comedy to nail biting tension and back to comedy again. Although it was his character just being a bully and asserting dominance, it's believable because you know his character is capable of hurting or killing someone with little provocation. De Niro's character was every bit as psychopathic, but far smarter and more calculating, which may be even scarier.ked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fkin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?Brian Cox in Manhunter - often gets overshadowed by Silence of the Lambs, but this version of Hannibal Lecktor was more subtle and cold, hence scarier.
Clarence Boddicker in Robocop - looked like a geography teacher but manged to be truly skin-crawlingly evil in every scene. Not really surprising when you consider he was based off Himmler.
So the moral is, if you want a terrifying real world villain, you don't get someone who chews the scenery or is built like Brock Lesnar, you need someone far more low key who uses brains as well as brawn.
