He was good at playing bad.

Hey Markus, surgeons are always officers and not sergeants, that makes "Hawkeye" Pierce a Captain as a lieutenant would be too junior a rank.

I knew it wasn't quiet right I copied it from the Danish version of IMDB.

Ohh know I see.
He played a tank leader in Kelly's Heroes here his name was Oddball
In the first M*A*S*H movie he played the role as Hawkey.

You're right Markus, I forgot about that Kelly's Heroes film, my apologies for the memory glitch.

I'll start taking the meds again as I'm starting to lose it.

For me, one of his better roles was in the movie Backdraft.

He played a pyromaniac so well that I had to remind myself that this was just a role he was playing.

Yikes, he was scary in the role.

He was exceptional at playing extravagant roles with a dry demeanor; where other actors would have played up the wild or campy aspects, he gave his characters an uncommonly understated, humanizing aspect which made his 'creepier' performances all the more affecting; a great actor and an a somewhat rather underrated one...

I watched Kelly's Heroes a couple of days ago - one of the war classics - but thought he was great much more recently in The Hunger Games
