Somewhere there is a predator with his characters skull on a stake, so they must not have considered him such a bad ass in the end.
At least the Japanese gangster guy who was with him died going one on one with a predator face to face with a sword.

There was a turtle with his severed head glued to it. Was.

Yup. Textbook definition of "typecast as a Hollywood villain".

I'm trying to think if I can recollection a SINGLE role where he WASN'T a henchman (who usually dies). Can't think of one yet. I don't recall him ever having any big speaking roles either, despite seeing him in loads of 80s movies.

Al Leong. A henchman in almost every 80’s action flick.

Best one so far.

Great selections by many of you.

I hear "typecast", I think:  "At least s/he's working."  

They all can't be fantastic roles.  This thread made me think of David Warner (RIP), to see what other infamous villain roles the guy had besides Time Bandits, that one ST:TNG episode, and the Baldur's Gate franchise.  Turns out the guy worked a lot.  On a variety of projects.  Something like 90 movies alone.

Always.  Be.  Closing. Working.

It's always fun seeing the lengths someone will go to in order to break out of being typecast.

Daniel Radcliffe is my favorite example so far.

Going from Harry Potter to Guns Akimbo is a pretty big leap.

So was Equus...

(EDIT:  Saw that akguy beat me to the punch.  Plus it was alluded to earlier in the thread.)

He does not often play the villain.

He's always the villain since his entire career is a laundering scheme
