'Richie' Forsythe

Anyone who knows and likes Out For Justice is aware William Forsythe gives a killer performance as Richie, but he has created what has to be one of the most underated lead villains in an action film. Richie is just plain junkyard mean and crazy, and Forsythe makes it authentic. Richie has no lofty goals other than to make money and kill folk. No sentimental back story on how he was forced into a life of crime, just "ever since he started doing all those drugs". No flamboyant mannerisms or accent with haughty language, just "Gino, you @*#!!, your @~*# is *&%#!". Truthfully Forsythe is incredible in this role, he uses voice and gesture to just about dominate this film (reportedly Seagal thought so to, as he insisted on trimming many of Forsythe's scenes).
