For me he will always be Thulsa Doom from Conan the Barbarian. You need to watch that movie if you haven't already.


Saw that movie in the theater in my early teens. When he turns into a snake - watching that on a 30 feet high screen from the front row - scarred me for life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF0Z5g0Wjuk


Oh, that brings back memories. Somebody didn't get as far as #34 on the Evil Overlord List.

I totally agree. He played a sadist, and the irony of this movie is that he rarely makes use of what people admire the most: his infamous voice. True uber-alpha in this movie, fantastic performance.

RIP!


its my favorite movie of all time. the soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission. its got comedy, drama, love, hate, lust, fear, revenge, and all the other feelings a movie can envoke. hey...black lotus, stygian, the best...this better not be haga...I would sell Haga to a slayer such as you?


A delightful performance https://youtu.be/a7Mx9fGzAmM


Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe.


I saw "Conan" a year or two after I first saw him in "The Sandlot" and lost it when I realized that the same guy that was doing battle with The Terminator was responsible for saving Smalls from a lifetime of being grounded... his voice made him instantly recognizable in spite of the wig and crazy costumes he wore in the former. RIP.


That movies exudes a soft mysticism that I find as rare as confusing.
