[Antonio]

1. Travis in PARIS, TEXAS
2. Johnnie Farragut in WILD AT HEART
3. Jack Walsh in PRETTY IN PINK
4. Roman Grant in Big Love
5. Brett in ALIEN
6. Billy Ray in THE ROSE
7. Rudolph Junkins in CHRISTINE
8. Harold Helman aka “Brain” in ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK
9. Tony Russo in SHE’S SO LOVELY
10. Tom Eckert in RED DAWN

Can you believe he's turning 80(!) this year? Definitely one of the best character actors out there. Anyone else a fan of his Roman role on Big Love? Definitely the best villain on television!

Travis - Paris, Texas

One of the greatest performances of all fucking time, very subtle and understated and emotionally affecting. That movie drained me to the bone, and he was one of the main reasons why.

[Buck Turgidson]

(His two greatest performances were in the same year and show the brilliance of his range)

1. Travis in Paris, Texas
2. Bud in Repo Man
3. Calvin in The Missourri Breaks
4. Jerry Schue in Straight Time
5. Brett in Alien
6. Blind Dick in Ride In The Whirlwind
7. Tramp in Cool Hand Luke
8. Curt in Rancho Deluxe
9. Paul of Tarsus in The Last Temptation of Christ
10. Floyd Cage in The Pledge

Never anything less than compelling.

He's The Man.
