I expected him to sound like Michael Wincott.
Nobody sounds like Michael Wincott. Between Strange Days, Dead Man and the Crow, he's managed three of the gnarliest (yet completely different) raspy voices I've ever heard this side of Tom Waits.
Buffy: How bored were you last year? Giles: I watched 'Passions' with Spike. Let us never speak of it.

It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

He looked really familiar, and I think I remembered him from Strange Days and Three Musketeers. But yeah, pretty gnarly voice.

Oh, and along with Alan Rickman one of the only redeeming features of Robin Hood: Prince of Lame.

I really would have liked to have seen the movies Brandon would have made.
I get a little choked up thinking about it.

Hee!
eta, and I totally agree. I'd love to have seen what else he could have done. He only had one other (not terribly good) movie, right? Which was a more straight-forward action movie.
To the imdb-mobile, awayyyyyyyy!!!

I watched The Crow a few months back with my best bud who, oddly enough, had never seen it. (Oddly in that we've pretty much got the same media vocabulary, most of the time.) After it was done she was all, "Ooooooo, lovely -- what else has BL done?"
"Die" was not the answer she was looking for. Definitely a life cut tragically short.

Back from the imdb
Huh, actually a half dozen plus, including, KUNG FU: The Movie, and KUNG FU: The Next Generation. He played Chung Wang. There's also a character named Wyatt in it. Does this mean the Shanghai Noon movies ripped off Kung Fu?
Sadly, nothing else he did sounds anywhere near as good as the Crow.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
As I recall, Lee had to put in his journeyman dues a lot. I think The Crow was the first and only movie that didn't make hay (or some melodrama) out of his race -- he just had an indeterminate-ethnicity name, and did stuff, and that was all.

What, does he scare people away with his tanned buttcheeks of doom??
