@CalamityJane,
I liked him better, snarling, "You can't handle the truth."

@Jaqen,
Good choice. But I have to go with Clint Eastwood as The Man With No Name in the spaghetti westerns, Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, etc.

Obviously more than just one.

Why? Just because.


I'm sure I will think of others right after I click on REPLY.

Yeah, I found that out earlier today. Maybe that's why he was on my mind. Even so, Clint was my childhood hero, rather than John Wayne, who was a little ahead of my time.

For years i had a hard time taking Clint seriously, because of Rowdy Yates on the television series Rawhide.

He's so young in that picture, he doesn't even look like Clint Eastwood.

@Setanta,
He don't look like no ruthless killer there. He looks like a ruthful killer. That just ain't right.

I'm not sure I can pick just one....

These are some that come immediately to mind because they are such iconic performances by these actors--these characters they brought to life on the screen are indelible and memorable.

Peter Sellers as Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the Pink Panther series of films.

Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes in Misery.

Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia.

Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Here are some other Gary Oldman characters I loved. He is a very versatile actor.

@izzythepush,
Cannot forget it, because I never saw it.

I don't know that it every had an American incarnation. Wasn't it strictly an English series?

Christ...he looks so young there.
