Ray Winstone: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''Ray Winstone is an excellent British actor who tends to play working-class London psychotics. Even when he's the good guy - he was Will Scarlet in [[Robin of Sherwood|a long-running Robin Hood TV show]] here, and portrayed a hero journalist in ''[[Tank Mailing]]'' - he's usually fucking terrifying. Only once in (my) recent memory has he played against type in film, as the scared safecracker in ''[[Sexy Beast (Film)|Sexy Beast]]''. See, everyone first saw Ray Winstone as a teenager whipping other kids to death with a pool ball in a sock, screaming WHO'S THE DADDY NOW? WHO'S THE FUCKING DADDY NOW? '''I'M''' THE DADDY NOW! He's a force of nature, a thing driven by beer and cigarettes and kicking fucking heads in. He's got a chubby face and little boy's eyes that, in the moment, go black and dead like shark's eyes. Reduces London English to a series of grunts and yelps. He is, in fact, The Greatest Living Londoner.''|'''[[Warren Ellis]]''', preface to ''[[Switchblade Honey]]''}}

** ''[[Scum (Film)|Scum]]'' as Carlin and the source of the above mentioned "WHO'S THE DADDY NOW? WHO'S THE FUCKING DADDY NOW? I'M THE DADDY NOW!"

** ''[[Indiana Jones and Thethe Kingdom of The Crystal Skull (Film)|Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of Thethe Crystal Skull]]''.

** ''[[Beowulf (Filmfilm)|Beowulf]]'' (2007) as Beowulf.

** ''[[Sexy Beast (Film)|Sexy Beast]]'', in which he had the rare distinction of being terrorised by <s>Gandhi</s> Ben Kingsley, who also played the title character in the biopic ''Gandhi''.
