The confession scene in "Salvador" alone which (I have read) he ad-libbed -- the man is incredible. Brilliant actor, and just plain brilliant -- hilarious, gutsy, self-confrontational -- his edgy, "kind of an asshole" personality (defying his actual looks, which started out nerdy-spooky-scary and have kept getting BETTER as time has passed), he flatly disregards by also NOT being nice -- he is TOTALLY hot. Too bad about the dyed hair on "Shark" (don't forget your eyebrows!!) but he's an actor, it's makeup -- he's even handsomer with his natural gray-white hair anyway; and even in movies that are kinda lame ("Any Given Sunday") he brings his force to the moment. Beginning with "Onion Field," and don't skip "Salvador" -- plus the hilarious exchange with Clint Eastwood in "True Crime"!! -- playing a sick, racist, killer in "Ghosts of Mississippi" -- be still my heart.
