You sure knew how to play the heavies, and Zed from Pulp Fiction is a big-time case in point. Heck, your character gave Bruce Willis the incentive to utter one of cinema's most noted lines: "Zed's Dead, baby. Zed's dead."
Your presence (your familiar, vehement face) also made the rounds in other pulpy entries, both on the big and small screen, such as The Mask; H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds (Asylum 2005); Earthling; Under Siege 2: Dark Territory; Judgement Night; Bang; Training Day; The Usual Suspects; Laws of Gravity; Life on Mars (American edition); Kiss & Tell; Permanent Midnight; The Rich Man's Wife; Beggarman; Blue Knight; Blue Streak; Clean, Shaven; A Porn Star is Born; The Shoemaker; The Kill Hole; The Child; Checkmate, Keep Your Enemies Closer; Turnabout; Sweet Lorraine; Little Dixie; Samir; Tesla; Body Brokers; Priceless; Let's Get Lost; City of Lies; Exit 0; Return to Danger; Double Tap; Low Ball; Black Cloud; Shadow Hours; Ticker; Fist of the Warrior (Lesser of Three Evils); Once Fallen; Once More; Caller ID: Entity; Love Hollywood Style; Nobody's Baby; Out in Fifty; Ticker; Clown; I'm Calling Frank; Dead & Deader; Brothers in Arms; Final Engagement; Coyote Run; End Game; The Mick and the Trick; Pet Shop Days; Out of Exile; The Gentleman Bandit (Gentleman B); Do Me a Favor; Snakeland; The Black Donnellys; Scenes of the Crime; The Continental; Clika; Hardball; Hawaii 5-0 (2012); The Jersey Connection; Justified; The Bounty Hunter; Law and Order; Chicago P.D.; For Life; Still the King; and New York New York.
It takes a special sort to pull off the types of roles you handled. That edge--that tough, wily smartness--is a quality that few possess, and you, sir, possessed it in spades. Thanks for darkening the dark, Mr. Greene, and doing it with a glow that was all your own.
