Peter Stormare

Anyone else like this guy.

Every role i've seen him in is interesting:
The monosyllabic, brooding psychopath in Fargo.
The deranged, cosmonaut in that Bruce Willis asteroid vehicle from a while back- Armageddon IIRC.

The insane yet strangely competent surgeon in Minority Report who gives Tom Cruise his new eyes.
The contemptible and risibly pretentious snuff movie producer in 8mm.

He does crazy so well. There's always this engaging roundness to his insane characters that evokes ambivalent feelings towards them.

I love Peter Stormare. He can be a bit hammy but he comes from a theatre background.

He's great in Fargo and he was one of the best things about the first season of Prison Break.


He's always fun to watch and I think its a shame he's not in more stuff....would love to see the Coens throw him into a few more of their films.

Watched him in Bad Company a couple of nights ago. He was excellent in a pretty average film. My favourite is his role as the nihilist Karl Hungus in The Big Lebowski. Great actor.

Honestly, I'd watch him in anything. He was the best thing about Constantine, for example. I even take my screen name from his character's alias in The Big Lebowski.

Damn fine character actor.. and as Karl has said, would watch him in anything. He really does always bring a certain something to a role .

Even love those tongue-in-cheek Volkswagen ads he does:
