My Take
Andrew Divoff is one of those character actors I have an enormous soft spot for. Born in Venezuela, fluent in multiple languages, he turned a knack for menace into a whole career playing cartel bosses, terrorists and crime lords, but to horror fans he'll always be the Djinn from Wishmaster. There's a relish to his villainy that I admire, the way he makes evil feel articulate rather than cartoonish. Performers like him rarely headline, yet they're the connective tissue of genre cinema. When I spot his name in a cast list, I instantly trust the film knows what kind of energy it wants.
