No Country
The creepiest movie character with a pageboy haircut award goes to Javier Bardem for Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men. It was more his voice and the way Bardem would enunciate his words that left me feeling . . . clenched.
This movie might have sealed Tommy Lee Jones as the leader of my acting rat pack. This role was derivative of his character in the first feature-film that he directed in 2005, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada. Awesome movie. I wish I still had the write-up I did for that one.
I like Tommy's pedigree. He was the son of Lucille Marie , a police officer, school teacher, and beauty shop owner, and Clyde C. Jones, an oil field worker. He roomed with Al Gore at Harvard, where he attended on a scholarship and graduated with an English degree.

Check out You Can Count On Me. Early Brando.
Also saw him in a Clifford Odet's play, Awake & Sing. I was yelling his name so loudly I think I scared him.
