Peter Stormare

Peter Stormare is my favorite kind of actor: the one directors call when a scene needs genuine menace or strangeness. The range is absurd when you lay it out, from playing Hamlet for Ingmar Bergman on the Swedish stage to the wordless horror of Fargo and the mob boss John Abruzzi in Prison Break. He brings theatrical discipline to pulp material, which is why his villains feel heavier than the scripts deserve. I admire that he never chased leading-man status; he understood that character actors get the most interesting work. Few performers have made silence as frightening as he has.
