I knew he was going places after seeing him in License to Kill.
That's interesting.
I watched a lot of movies, but I wasn't a buff, so I didn't really notice him.
He's in Swimming with Sharks and I don't even remember him in that.
I noticed him in The Usual Suspects but still didn't respect or think anything of him.
He's in The Pledge with Jack Nicholson.
I love that Fucking Movie.
Benico does some wild acting in that movie.
I love how that movie ends.
I know people who have gone crazy like that and shake their hands while talking to things you can't see.
I love Benico in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas but it took me a few years to realize that was him lol.
I guess I really started to realize who he was after that movie with Tommy Lee Jones in The Hunter.
I like it when you don't even realize certain actors are in a movie.
Gary Oldman was really good at that for a very long time.
He tricked me many times, lol.
Well, in License to Kill, he plays a henchman (Dario). He and another henchman first appear in that coastal bar room scene where the bar is situated right on the wharf. What I think makes him such a great actor is that he is terrific in both villain and good-guy roles, whereas many other very popular actors are only good as mostly playing villains or mostly playing good-guys.
