Growing up I thought Tom Noonan was the coolest, scariest motherfucker on the planet. That's the weight you carry when you deliver ~that~ Francis Dollarhyde performance in MANHUNTER alongside all the shit young teenage me dug like THE MONSTER SQUAD, ROBOCOP 2 WOLFEN, F/X, and LAST ACTION HERO.

The thing that was always fascinating about Robert Duvall was that often his best performances weren't always in his best films, if that makes sense? So you'd sit through some ★★★½ bit of disposable fare coz he was going to gift you a ★★★★★ display within it.
