I first started paying attention to him when I saw that serrated smile in Sleepy Hollow.
Seen him in Wayne's World 2 before that but he didn't really stand out in my mind. I choose to ignore roles
in FatBoy Slim music videos and Hairspray ugh bals of Fury WTF and focus on things like The Prophecy, King of New York, Suicide Kings and Batman Returns.
Not that all his lighthearted stuff bugs me, Blast from the Past is an uber cheesy movie
but something about it is like comfort food. Clem from Joe Dirt shows shades of his better roles as it alludes
to a mobster life in NYC before witness protection moves him to Louisiana or wherever the hell. And the 1st time
I saw the FatBoy Slim vid I was amused. He is an accomplished tap dancer and it's nice to see him play up to that he has hosted SNL many MANY times and in one of those opening monologues he displays this talent.
Looking over his filmography he is incredibly varied.
It's almost disturbing. I really didn't need to know he was on The Guiding Light. eek

Oh and he played in the movie "The Prophecy" which he played the fallen angel .. Gabriel that has come to Earth to find a human soul that can end the war in heaven. Humans are caught up in this battle and must find a way to stop the angel Gabriel before he takes the soul back from where the angel Simon has hidden it.
It was so good and he played such a "bad boy". I love it and watch it often!
Here are some more interesting facts about him ....
Doesn't own a computer.
Was the first to play King Philip of France on stage for "The Lion in Winter" in 1966, at the Ambassador Theatre, New York City.

Is a very skilled chef.
Was named for actor Ronald Colman.
His wife, Georgianne, and his brothers, Ken & Glenn, still call him "Ronnie".
Has said that a 200-film career is not out of the question.
