I’m addition to everything everyone else listed he has shown a great range of talent in front of and behind the camera, from quiet drama roles like Hamlet and The Man Without a Face to outright comedies like Maverick.

Plus to me he reperesents one of the few living actors that still embody the badass masculinity Hollywood used to give us without selling out or turning cuck for relevance. Mel, Clint Eastwood and of course Kurt Russel are about the only actors I can think of working today who haven’t bent over for Globohomo.

Also his rejection of Jodie Foster turned her into a lesbian, he called Winona Rider an oven dodger, And finally, Danny Glover likes him, and that crazy old bastard hates everybody.
