This guy has been in a lot of movies. Any idea where he went to high school? I read that he got into acting by mistake. He was enrolled into drama by mistake in high school and he liked it so he stayed.

Dude makes a great psycho, he has a disorder irl that makes his eyes constantly twitch. It was perfect for his role in Identity.

I wonder if he’s a member of this board? ??

Check out the hidden gem "Heavy". He was the lead in that one, did a good job. He played the opposite of a psycho in that one. Very reserved and quiet, so he didn't have a chance to show off any range/acting chops, but he does well for the role.

And obviously he was in Deadwood, which is one of the GOATS.

He's been around a long time. Great character actor.

Oliver Stone used him in JFK and Natural Born Killers. Alan Parker also liked him and had him in Angel Heart and Mississippi Burning.

I went to Tara High School with him. Always kind of quiet, and had a condition that made his eyes twitch from side to side. Some kids made fun of him for that, but I always spoke to him in the halls between classes when I saw him and he was a nice enough kid. . I've noticed that he's never come back for a class reunion.

Just checked out his IG and have to bleach my phone so I don’t get TDS. He’s not happy about Mr Trump and he wants you to know , lol. Never knew that about his eye, cool he could make it an asset.

Apparently he’s going to be Johnathan Kent (Superman’s adoptive dad) in the new Superman movie. Pretty surprising given what I’ve seen of prior roles

You can see it perfectly in “Identity.” He nails that role and the eye twitch totally makes him look crazy!

Tara. Thanks

He went to Valley Park Jr Hi, then Tara.

Nice guy. Was always nice to me and we talked off and on at both schools, lunch every now and then. I had several classes with him. I didn’t have many friends, and neither of us hung out with the “cool crowd” or jocks so we did run into each other a fair amount and were friendly with each other in the school years. We graduated the same year, I think, in 78.

I have peripherally followed his career and think he has been damn good in everything I’ve seen him in.

Just looked up his filmography on Wikipedia. Not sure how big his roles have been, but he has been working steady in movies & TV for years. Didn’t realize he was Otis from The Walking Dead season 2.
