A low-exposure lifer, he’s been in dozens of films (with a multitude of TV appearances as well) for 40 years. The prime role that earned him a mention in this conflagration was his turn as the studio head in Barton Fink, and he’s had a few starring roles on either side of that, but he’s mostly held the position of “hey I think I know that guy” guy.
Ten best roles: 10) Safe Men 9) The Postman Always Rings Twice 8) Strange Invaders 7) Nobody Knows Anything 6) Yonkers Joe 5) Girl in the Cadillac 4) Poster Boy 3) When Do We Eat 2) Anguish 1) Barton Fink
