Ed O'Ross

Ed O'Ross is one of those actors whose face you recognize long before you recall the name, and I mean that as a compliment. He built a career out of menace done with craft: the Georgian mobster in Red Heat, the sergeant in Full Metal Jacket, the heavy in Dick Tracy. What I admire is his longevity and range, sliding from film villains to voice work to long television runs. Movies need people like him to give the stakes weight.
