Great character actor who was always good value in whatever he popped up in. I always immediately flash to Blood Simple, for whatever reason. Might give it a re-watch soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give it a re-watch soon. Probably because it really was his best role and performance. I love the guy, one of Hollywood's greatest ever character actors and one of my favourite actors of all time. One of those faces that became instantly familiar when I started to get interested in cinema in my late teens and he's just been there in so many films I've seen since. Look down his career and it's amazing how many classics and under-appreciated gems he popped up in, and that he himself was under-appreciated in all of them. Like I say, Blood Simple stands out, the Coens' bleakest film, too. Obviously there's Blade Runner but it's so difficult to narrow down his best roles/performances because he was so prolific. He was a cracking comedy actor, too, he had really good range - hilarious in The Jerk and as Machine Shop Ear-Bender in Raising Arizona. Really sad news but he'll always be one of my all-time favourites. Him and JT, the Magnificent Walshes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Chance was just far, far too young. Horribly sad. He was great in both Sabrina and Gen V and had a great future ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every so often, my sister and I have a pattern where, if either of us does something stupid, the other will say "Ya djack'ass!" the way he did. Or, if we're trying to do something difficult, the other will say "You WILL NOT [insert action here]...ya djack'ass!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
