I was surprised how taken I was with his work in Dead Presidents. I hadn't remembered much about his performance, but it was great to revisit.

He never just phones it in even in the worst movies. My favorite performance from him is probably from Clockers. Very underrated. I also really love him in all the movies you listed. His scenes in There's Something About Mary are still the best part of the movie. Ben Still getting caught in his zipper though might be an image i will never be able to forget.Henrik J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12675100900709348187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-87803922380161901072018-05-17T11:04:49.627-04:002018-05-17T11:04:49.627-04:00I wanted to include that performance so badly!

I wish Lee would go back to that (but I'm crazy excited for BlacKkKlansman).Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-17954436222404472792018-05-15T12:30:20.561-04:002018-05-15T12:30:20.561-04:00I also really like Keith David's work in Clock...I also really like Keith David's work in Clockers as the counterpoint to Delroy Lindo's father figure (sort of) for Strike.

And you're so right about that voice... even Aronofsky used it so well, as it's the first thing we "get" from David in Requiem. So happy you're a fan of his work!Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-73837440649708543512018-05-14T18:22:13.338-04:002018-05-14T18:22:13.338-04:00Haha that's damn right!

He's also in Road House too! Looking at his Wikipedia page, is reminding me of so many quick bursts of screen time like from Volcano or Replacements. Gosh, I didn't realize he was the voice of Spawn for that animated series that was better than it probably deserved. <br />He's either been or voiced so many police officers or other commanding individuals, and that makes total sense, one doesn't waste a voice like his.

He's always a joy to watch no matter what movie he's in. Even if it's a shitty film like <i>Armageddon</i> as he always find a way to bring what a film needs.<br /><br />His work in <i>Cloud Atlas</i> is often overlooked as I really liked the roles he played as he was a hitman for one scene and then a man of great intellect in another. <br /><br />That performance in <i>There's Something About Mary</i> is hilarious as I just loved how he looked in that 'fro. <br /><br />Ah, and of course.... <i>They Live</i>. If you don't think that fight scene is one of the best scenes in film. I will fight you.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
