Well, he tried the geek approach though, but even with those heavy set Clark Kent glasses that the Night Slasher wore, it just made him look even more scary, and as were most guys of today would probably just come off like some weak ass hipster, this guy meant serious business.

I'm not sure you can say he tried the geek approach is one of his characters, who was attempting to disguise himself, wore glasses for five minutes.

He was good enough in Cobra that this guy should've had a bigger career. He's a working actor, which is great for him, but this dude should've been the villain in so many action movies. He was wasted so much in Lionheart.

My bad attempt of making a an ever bader joke, but it is probably the only scene of him that I can remember wearing the classic "geek" glasses, and still a guy like Thompson would stick out like a sore thumb, everytime.

Was about to mention Lionheart earlier, pretty damn solid Van Damme flick by the way, but yeah, I was very disappointed that a bad ass villain, or what seemed to be the main heavy henchman portrayed by Brian, was just wasted like that.
A shame, because throughout the film, I remember him and Van Damme had a bit of going, and hoped that it would lead up to a good fight, instead all I can remember is Van Damme throwing a kick at Thompson while he sits with the audience, and that was it.
