re: #67 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce

If Michael Rooker isn’t exactly like Merle Dixon in real life, then he is one of the most skilled actors ever.

He’s actually a really good actor. Usually plays tough no-nonsense characters. Watch him in “Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer”. It was his first big performance and probably still his best. Was very controversial at the time (late 80s), and still disturbing today for its depiction of a cold blooded killer. But he’s chilling in the lead role.
