What? To play the actors in a movie? You've made very good choices there-though I still love DaFoe's Nosferatu in Shadow of the Vampire---for Karloff, that's rough--I'm one of the few that loved DeNiro's Frankentien...will have to think

I meant, who would compare as classically typecast monsters?
Klaus Kinski was great in Werner Herzog's Nasferatu.
I loved Shadow of the vampire and Mary Shelly's frankenstien too.
As for Gary Oldman's Dracula... no. It sucked... hard!

Well, DeNiro can certainly play a monster when he wants to like the deliciously slick Louis Cypher in Angelheart, the Frankenstien monster and of course the unforgettable Max Cady in Cape Fear. Speaking of Angelheart Micky Rourke could be considered as moving in that direction as well, since his boxing/steriods/plastic surgery bout he's played sympathetic monsters such as Marv in Sin City, his role in The Wrestler and as Whiplash in Iron Man II. Then there's always Ron Pearlman...

Arguably the best quote ever about Lance Henriksen....

"I would love to be related to Lance Henriksen. I imagine you spend most of your days fighting aliens, and then you're a vampire at night."
"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." - PJ O'Rourke

"Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas." - Charles Stewart

"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." - James Madison

You mean a movie with both Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves wasn't good? I kid as I do have a soft spot for that movie, but it is almost all based on Gary Oldman hamming it up.
