Ed Lauter
One of the great character actors -- via USA Today. Tall, gaunt, and balding, he started off specializing in roles as cops, military guys, villains, psychos, killers, and thugs. As he worked, his intelligence and ability to show emotional shading led him to beefier roles, mostly recently as the butler in "The Artist." And he could do funny! In fact, he started out as a standup. Ooh, Ed, you were so mean as Capt. Knauer in "The Longest Yard." An astonishing 204 credits on iMdb!
