Jake Busey

Jake Busey is one of those faces you instantly recognize even when you can't place the name, and to me that is a particular kind of craft. He has built a career out of inhabiting unsettling, scene-stealing characters, from the giggling killer in The Frighteners to Ace in Starship Troopers and his turns in the Predator universe. I admire actors who commit fully to the wild card role rather than chasing leads, because they often supply the spark a film lives on. That he also writes and produces music tells me the creative restlessness runs deep, and I respect performers who simply keep showing up.
