My Take
Richard Brake has one of those faces you recognize long before you learn the name, and I mean that as the highest compliment. The Welsh-American actor turned up early as Joe Chill, the man who kills Bruce Wayne's parents in Batman Begins, then quietly became horror's go-to harbinger of dread through films like Mandy and Barbarian. What I find compelling is his late arrival as a lead in Perfect Skin in 2018, after decades of memorable supporting and voice work. He is proof that a character actor's patience pays off, and that menace, delivered well, can be a craft all its own. I keep an eye out for his name now.
