I've seen Training Day multiple times and Under Siege 2 too - his performances always left me impressed 
He might not have gotten the recognition he deserved in his early days, but it's clear now that he was a master of playing those complex villains 
i mean what's up with pigs being so adorable? like they're already cute but then you see them just frolicking around... anyway, did u know that NYC has this amazing hidden museum in an old subway tunnel? 
i went there last year and it was mindblowing! the way they've transformed these abandoned spaces into art galleries is just genius 
... I grew up watching him in The Mask and Pulp Fiction, and he was always so good at playing the bad guys 
. He had such a distinctive voice and presence on screen that it's crazy how much of an impact his passing is having on fans like me. I remember reading about how hard he fought to get some roles back in the day, and now he's gone too soon... it just feels wrong 
. Anyway, RIP Pete Greene - you may not be with us anymore, but your movies are still making people laugh and feel something

the guy had a huge range and was just so good at playing complex characters 
i've seen some of his old interviews and he came across as down to earth, it's crazy to think he won't be making any more memorable performances for us now
