Another favorite character actor, from the 80s and 90s, whom sadly did not got his big break, which I guess had to do with more serious personal problems or struggles, but damn, he was one hell of a scene stealer for a while.
Robert Pastorelli I think I first saw in a small yet memorable scene in Dances with Wolves (1990), but the one which made me a fan, was his hilarious and very over the top delivery of the absolute crazed out baddie in the Bruce Willis action-thriller Striking Distance (1993), and yeah, Pastorelli owned that part, and not long after, he had another fun and memorable character in a Arnold Schwarzenegger film, with Eraser (1996).
When I was younger, I was so sure this guy was way bigger, as it felt like (for a period) he was "everywhere".
As with Polito, this guy tuned up in lots of classic 80s tv-series, like The A-Team, Miami Vice and Beauty and the Beast, and I guess he found most success within the tv-series format, rather than on the big screen Hollywood films, but when he got the chance, he sure did not disappoint.
"SPOILER ALERT" (for those who have not seen the entire film of Striking Distance)
