What I love about him


I love that greasy, slimy kind of contemptable quality some of his performances have. Like maybe you would catch something if you touched him.

I don't mean that as an insult. Not many actors have that and I love it

I know exactly what you mean. His performance/character in Deciever comes to mind, as one that absolutely oozes slimy, calm menance. It's so palpable, you can almost taste its presence. And you can't help being both repelled and drawn in by it.

Another is closer to the end of The Incredible Hulk right before he turns into Abomination

I doubt he's like that in real life though

Yes he's slimy. And that's why he's brilliant. Cast him as Toad in the new XMEN!

OMG...Tim was great in Deceiver! I especially love the part where he says to Kennesaw...in a chippery voice..."A tape of such conduct I have here!"...soooo gooood! I watch it often...along with several of his other movie's. He's got awesome charisma going on....totally awesome!
