My Take

John Vernon is one of those faces I always recognized before I ever knew the name. Born in Saskatchewan as Adolphus Raymondus Vernon Agopsowicz, he built his Hollywood career on playing villainous authority figures, and that deep, commanding voice did half the work. He first found stardom on Canadian television before crossing into film, which I think gave him a steadiness a lot of heavies lacked. I admire actors like him who specialize so completely in a register that they become shorthand for a type. He worked steadily until his death in 2005, and that kind of durable character-acting career is exactly what I respect most.
