Been some good ones over the years, Samuel L Jackson as “Jules”,in Pulp Fiction

“Brick top”and even “Fairbanks” in Foot Soldier are convincing.

Who stands out to you?

He was pretty terrifying as "The Fucker" in The Thick of It as well.
It would be difficult to reprise Corky as the character is dead.

I thought Ian McShane's character in Sexy Beast was scarier than Don Logan. That was real psychopathic menace.
