recently I've got to see three - one was in The Last Voyage of The Demeter, then in The Balko Experiment, and Oppenheimer (though, I overlooked his role in that and will have to go back and re-watch it).

I think he is another one of these character actors who is so good he has become typecast as an actor who mostly portrays strange characters. However, in Demeter and Balko, he shows he is a premier actor.

Can't say I've noticed him before. We must hope and pray that dude's performances are easier to follow than his surname

Character actor who is so good?

Well, I wouldn't go that far. Actually it's hard to tell. I've seen him twice.

"The Dark Knight" - In that one, if you blink, you'll miss him

And another flick, in which he starred. He was all right. I don't remember the name of it. He played a druggie with a druggie girlfriend living in their car. The two of them spend their days hustling people to get money.

He had the right look for the part, that's for sure.
