He spent a lot of years in small roles, most notably making an appearance in 1979’s “Apocalypse Now”. He then moved to Idaho, working various jobs while doing occasional acting work. In 1980 he appeared in “Urban Cowboy”, and this led him to be cast in other projects such as “The Keep”, “Silverado”, “The Right Stuff”, and “The River”. During this period, he transitioned from doing protagonist and antagonist roles, but his career would really take off in the 1990s, after he became a part of “The Hunt for Red October” and “The Silence of the Lambs”.

He appeared in “Reckless”, “Absolute Power”, “Larga distancia”, and “Lesser Prophets”. In 2001, he had a supporting role in “Training Day” alongside Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke.

A few of his more recent roles include “Sons of Anarchy”, and he also played CIA Director Erza Kramer in “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “The Bourne Legacy”. One of his latest roles is the character Stick in Neflix’s “Daredevil”. His net worth is still rising.

#Trademark
1Often plays raspy-voiced men of few words
2Tough characters with a militaristic background
#Quote
1There are many different reasons why people take parts. For me, there are basically two: one is economic -- you have to keep working, pay the rent; that's a given. The other one, for me, usually has nothing to do with the overall film - whether the script is good, whom I'm working with, whether it's going to get good reviews -- it's just the part, the character. Is this somebody whose shoes I want to live in for four months? If I don't instinctively answer 'yes' to that question, I shouldn't be doing the movie.
2Essentially what actors do is put colors on a palette for directors to paint with.
