Unless Shere Khan counts.
Totally counts. That's one of his best performances.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. 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.

Ooh, Shere Khan. I didn't know who you were talking about but now I totally get the Rickman comparison.
I might need to watch that movie again soon.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Damn, he's quotable:
"Where on the screen I am invariably a
sonofabitch, in life I am a dear, dear boy."
— George Sanders
George Sanders - A Mitigated Cad
Cool!
Most people assumed Sanders was English, but he was actually born in St. Petersburg, Russia and led a secure, privileged childhood until he and his family were forced to flee to England after the revolution of 1917. Sanders was unhappy at school and unsure of what he wanted to do in life ("My own desire as a boy was to retire," he claimed). For four years, he worked for a tobacco company in Argentina and often lived in primitive conditions, which he seems to have enjoyed. After fighting a duel over "a very charming widow," Sanders was thrown out of South America and went back to England, where he briefly worked for an advertising company. While there, a secretary at the ad firm, Greer Garson, asked Sanders if he'd like to join her amateur theatrical company; thus, Mrs. Miniver set Sanders on the road of a long, rewarding and finally wearying career as an actor.

Sanders is awesome in All About Eve. Random thought: I almost wish it had been Sanders in the Clifton Webb role in Laura - he would have been awesome at the bitchiness of the character.

Clifton Webb does not bow to anyone when it comes to bitchiness!

Yes, but to the point that you spend the entire movie wondering why he's romantically obsessed with Gene Tierney instead of Vincent Price or Dana Andrews.

Gay men are frequently obsessed with women. Cf., Judy Garland, Doris Day, Liza Minelli, Madonna, Cher.

Here's a good way to kill your productivity.
Actor profiles (more like valentines) at the Bright Lights film journal.
For instance, The Elusive Pleasures of Irene Dunne.
Who doesn't love Irene Dunne? Only people who haven't seen her.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think my local movie theater does it on purpose: [link]
