My Take
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. Born on the Fourth of July, he somehow embodies a grittier, shadow-side America that I find genuinely compelling.
