Both of those were great but my favorite character was Drexel Spivey, the white pimp (Gary Oldman).

#27 Posted: 4/19/2012 11:36:56 AM Al Swerenger and Drexl from True Romance for sure. I swear Gary Oldman could have starred in Menace to Society, great acting all around in True Romance. Pesci was pretty much the exact same character in both movies, but thats a good thing. No one can play a crazy mofo gangster like him |

#28 Posted: 4/19/2012 11:39:46 AM I love the entire cast of Boardwalk Empire but esp Arnold Rothstein. His speech to Nucky about waiting for the perfect bet was absolute classic. |

Damn, I forgot about Drexel..I need to watch that movie again. I've seen it probably 8 times but it's been about 12 yrs since I saw it last. |

check out Sir Anthony in Fracture (2007). Ted Crawford definately his best "non-Hannibal Lecter" villian. it's GREAT plot. you KNOW Crawford shoots his cheating wife's but HOW is his gun NOT the weapon? oodles of great "twists and turns"  |

Jean Reno as Leon, Gary Oldman as Stansfield, and then 13 year old Natalie Portman as Mathilda, along with the movie itself, could have ALL been nominated for Oscars. I can't BELIEVE that Oldman's Stansfield isn't on the AFI's Top 50 Villains list  |

Totally agree Oldman's character is one of the sickest villans ever |
