My point is that although I think Cumming or Grey can play creepy and evil, they don't present proximate physical threat. To me, anyway. Even with weapons.
Cumming's default state actually seems more hyperactive gay boy you just want to keep in a pretty cage with soft pillows than man of menace.
Damn it, I'm trying to find photos of Malcolm McDowell in "Clockwork Orange" and I can't seem to find any good ones.
But he was Very Very Evil there, and looked it. He looked pretty evil in "Tank Girl", too. And his vibe, to me, is small and kinetic.
This one doesn't really show off the makeup, but it cracks me up.
#1 - I love you all for the hardship I know you are enduring.
#2 - That "Got Milk?" picture of Malcom McDowell cracks my shit up.
Oh, and we must not forget the simply fantastic Terence Stamp (two different images linked)
Jess, I lurve that one. The more I look at his "Tank Girl" makeup, the scarier it gets. He's all white: hair, skin, teeth, and the general impression of empty just knocks me out.
Of course, I love McDowell anyway.
Oh my, I want Heather to shop for me or with me or correct my dressing room choices.
Trying to think of dangerous men.
Plei beat me to Terence Stamp!
I was surprised to find Malcolm's Boad in
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
as scarier than his Alex from
Clockwork Orange.
Pointless and stupid, yes, but that with the malevolence made it all worse.
How about Hugo Weaving?
