    Chev Chelios from the Crank series. I'd suggest he take a chill pill, but it would literally kill him!

    Klaus Kinski in pretty much anything but as Fitzcarraldo in particular. The first part of the clip shows Jason Robards who was originaly cast as Fitz along with Mick Jagger, both were dropped - can't remember the story its explained in Herzogs My Best Fiend get it if you haven't seen it, but then Klaus comes in and shows them how its done - the glorious barking mad, angry nutter

    It has to be Adolf Hitler in the film Downfall. The bit in the bunker where he's informed that one of his generals has retreated, he goes on a major rant!

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    ―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray

    When I imagine someone in a blind rage, Clint at the end of Unforgiven always comes to mind.

    That guy Craig Fairbass played in 'Rise of the footsoldier' - the scene where he orders a pizza on the phone springs to mind.

    How about righteous anger?

    Has to be Spencer Tracy in Inherit the Wind

    '...because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy and needs feeding and soon your honour with banners flying, and with drums beating we will be marching backward, backward through the glorious ages of that 16th Century when bigots burned a man who dared bring enlightment and intelligence to the human mind.'

    Twas all an act :pac:

    I suppose there is likeable angry, very angry people with good reason but a person thats just angry, angry at everything and anything would be Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton in American History X) before he went to prison, a very hate filled and angry character
