Line 2: [[File:vancleef_9162.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\| ''"I came into this town in a stage play called ''[[Mister Roberts]]''. Stanley Kramer saw it and put me in a picture called ''[[High Noon]]''. The first time I went into his office he told me to go fix my nose and I told him to go fuck himself.''}} {{quote\| ''A lot of actors think that the more words they have, the more attention they get. That's bullshit. I make people ''look'' at me. I don't have to say a lot of words."''}} One of the first faces that come to mind when you think of the phrase "[[The Western\|western]] villain". He started out as one of the villain's henchmen in ''[[High Noon]]'' (a bit part he apparently got because the director thought he had an evil-looking face) and went on playing [[Mook\|mooks]] in various westerns and films noirs during the 1950s. Then his career gradually fizzled out, partly because he'd injured his leg badly in a car accident but likely also because he had a drinking problem. In the mid-60s, [[Sergio Leone]] resurrected Van Cleef's career by giving him major supporting roles in ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' and ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]'', which brought him to stardom in Europe. He continued to star in [[Spaghetti Western\|spaghetti westerns]] for much of his subsequent career. Line 11: Characters based on Van Cleef's appearance and/or the type of character he tended to play include [[Metal Gear Solid\|Revolver Ocelot]], [[His Dark Materials\|Lee Scoresby]], [[Star Wars: The Clone Wars\|Cad Bane]], and [[Rango\|Rattlesnake Jake]]. ~~{{tropelist}}~~ {{actorroles}} * ''[[High Noon]]''▼ * ''[[The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance]]''▼ * ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]''▼ * ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]''▼ * ''[[Escape from New York]]''▼ {{creatortropes}} * [[Badass Mustache]] * [[Bald of Awesome]]/[[Bald of Evil]] Line 20 ⟶ 28: * [[Red Right Hand]]: Missing finger joint (he accidentally sawed it off while building a playhouse for his daughter) * [[Villainous Cheekbones]] ~~=== Selected filmography: ===~~ ▲* ''[[High Noon]]'' ▲* ''[[The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance]]'' ▲* ''[[For a Few Dollars More]]'' ▲* ''[[The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]'' ▲* ''[[Escape from New York]]'' {{reflist}} [[Category:Cult Actor]] [[Category:Actors]] [[Category:~~Lee Van Cleef~~{{PAGENAME}}]]
