Know The Face But Not The Name? - Clancy Brown

This is a feature to celebrate all the actors who appear in movies all over the place, and you can recognise them from different things but you don’t quite remember their name. So in other words actors who have a recognisable face and are primarily cast in supporting roles but don’t really get much attention otherwise.

Clancy Brown - Kurgan

Now this is an actor that everyone will recognise from at least one film. He is a great actor who I don’t think has ever had a leading role in a film and instead fills up supporting roles all over the place (and he does it every well I might add). You may recognise him from the following:

The Shawshank Redemption - He played the evil bastard prison guard, remember?

The Hurricane - Similar to his role in the previous film (in fact the same role as a prison guard) but this time he played a polar opposite in the kindness spectrum.

Starship Troopers - He always plays people in authority or power. Here he plays “Sergeant Zim”.

Highlander - Along with Shawshank this will be the one that most people remember him from. He played the evil and very intimidating “Kurgan”.

There are plenty others that I haven’t mentioned (feel free to comment about them). I think this is an actor who should be given a lead role in something just to see if he could pull it off. By my reckoning he could do it with ease.

Know The Face But Not The Name?

Like the “Films That Deserved Better” feature I have started this will be another that will I will post on every few days or so. The bottom paragraph will be posted every time I do a post about this just to remind you all of what it’s about.
