Why aren't you watching Justified?

I was waiting for it to get a couple seasons in, which it now is.

Doing the week-to-week thing has become torturous to me. I've realized I enjoy shows far more when I can just sit and watch a shitload of episodes in a row.

Gonna order up the Blu-Rays for Seasons 1 and 2 from Amazon soon.
 
Obligatory

Drago in the last episode of Game of Thrones is the correct answer. I had no idea that Baywatch dude could act. Interest for Conan...rising!
 
Another Deadwood shout out.

This man plays cruelty and rage with aplomb. Those who doubt me suck cock by choice.

The scene where he spit in EB's face was very difficult to watch.
 
Ricky Roma: You stupid fucking cunt. You, Williamson, I'm talking to you, shithead. You just cost me $6,000. Six thousand dollars, and one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? What are you going to do about it, asshole? You're fucking shit. Where did you learn your trade, you stupid fucking cunt, you idiot? Who ever told you that you could work with men? Oh, I'm gonna have your job, shithead.
 
James Gandolfini must be up there. For me it was the combination of a father and a mobster. When he beat someone or became angry, it really made me feel uncomfortable. Plus his physical appearance (6'1" and 271lb) was pretty impressive, too, when he played Tony Soprano.

Also Gandolfini in True Romance.

That smirk he makes after he first hits Patricia Arquette always gets me. So cheeky, lol.
 
so, you guys are saying olyphant is a good actor? i've seen him in live free or die hard and the crazies and i thought he was absolutely terrible. and lifeless and dull. maybe he was, like, sick when shooting those films, i dunno.

I'v only seen him in the sopranos, true romance, and when he plays the gay dude in another movie i seen.

But goddam watching him rage out for 6 seasons of the sopranos nearly every scene was just awsome

While I agree he was terrible in the Die Hard movie (haven't seen the other one you mentioned), he's excellent in both Deadwood and (especially) in Justified.

Great actor.
 
Morgan Freeman did good rage in Lean on Me with a classic fight between him and Robert Guillame(?). However, he was angry through most of it and raged in a good part of his speeches.

He was also good in Street Smart.

I tend to like my rage seething, so I also like:

Washington as Malcolm X where he is having a very strong but very subdued argument with his "submissive" wife.

Sanaa Lathan getting her Mom angry in Love & Basketball

Helen & Bob's argument (Is that rubble?) in The Incredibles

Theoden's "Where was Gondor..." discussion in Two Towers as well as Legolas & Aragorn fighting over the chances of survival.

Don't forget The Girl Next Door! Well, at least I thought he was great in it.
