I’m a sucker for the bizarre – Eastern Europe, Captain Beefheart, goats…
bring ‘em on.
same goes for films – Lynch, Tarsem, Disney.
can’t get enough.
and when it comes to actors, the creepier the better – Gary Oldman*, Willem Dafoe, Walken, etc.
but how often they overshadow the truly disturbing thespians.
here’s a few that come to mind:
-
#5 – David Morse
I’m sure he’s a nice boy, but I DON’T TRUST HIM! plus, he’s allergic to most forms of sugar.
#4 – Tony Todd
evil. pure evil. I’d say that even without him being Candyman.**
#3 – Michael Wincott
I don’t know if it’s the jaw, the voice or the fact that he slept with his sister in The Crow*** – but, yes. creepy.
#2 – Crispin Glover
while I’m sure most are are normal in real life, something tells me Crispin is just plain strange. Letterman agrees.

#1 – Vincent D’Onofrio
is he one of my favorite actors of all time? yes. is he also the creepiest actor of all time? yes.

* greatest actor of our generation

*** who was Bai Ling, so probably adopted – but still…
I absolutely love Vincent. Why is he so under appriciated? Why?
David Morse was un-effing believable as George Washington in the HBO series John Adams. Everyone on the set said when he walked on in full military uniform and powdered wig, they lost their breath. If you haven’t seen that series, highly recommend it:)
Also un-effing believable: D’Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket. Jaysus!
Vincent D’Onofrio
Fun fact – After full metal jacket, D’Onofrio acted in a move filmed and named after the small town I grew up in and headed back to in several weeks.
funny.
after seeing crispin glover play andy warhol, he finally made sense of him. finally.
and dear god, vincent d’onofrio, is possibly the most brilliant creature alive. although when seeing ‘the cell’ for the first time, i wasn’t sure i would ever be able to lay eyes on him again. but time, it heals all wounds.
