I saw him in some Spanish movie long time ago, excellent actor, would never expect him being such a great villain though, the appearance (as I read on IMDB they chose the haircut according to a picture of some brothel patron from the wild west..), the voice, the intensity, the air pistol - excellent.

Definitely one of the most intense villain characters in the movie history, time will confirm.

Maybe the bad guy image will stick with him in his future Hollywood career, as it did with guys like Gary Oldman, Dennis Hopper or Michael Wincott.
