Favourite all time type cast tough guy character actor
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Worked with a guy years ago, he was from Montenegro, 6'3" , bald, beard and moustache, deep voice and thick accent and was very intimidating looking, he got a bit part in one of the "Dark Man" movies as a hit man. All of us laughed our asses of when we watched his scene on VHS, where he kills his mark with a machine gun while masquerading as a waiter, lol.
He was also great as Dean Martin's boss in the Matt Helm film series
Got to love that gravelly voice.
Just going on memory here but I believe he was in Planet Of The Apes as well. The original of course.
If I'm right he played a tough guy gorilla, lol.........So the epitome of a tough guy character actor!
Close...but not the original. The Gorilla General in the 2nd film, Beneath The Planet Of The Apes.
There is no mistaking that voice.
And since he wanted to invade the Forbidden Zone his character was certainly tough!
One of the scariest/intimidating looking actors around, yet he is only 5' 6" tall.
Was the best boxer in his weight class in San Quentin though so I'm thinking he could take care of business if he had too.
Dany Trejo is a genius. His restaurant is very popular, he's figured out how to make vegetarian tacos tasty.
I've seen almost all the films in the clip.

JT Walsh was one of the greatest character actors. My favourite performance of his may be a small but memorable turn in The Grifters.
In case no one mentioned him. Neville Brand.
"Western outlaws and other screen "heavies", cops and other tough-guy roles throughout his career."

Got his big break in The Terminator......Always played the heavy. With that face he was typecast.
Tough guy was a synonym for a masculine man. The word toxic is now attached to masculinity.
