A great actor.

One of his best lines IMHO was in Apocalypse Now as Kilgore:

"Someday, this war is going to end."

And you wait for the punchline, until you realize he is actively enjoying the fighting, and the war ending is a bad thing. A shockingly good portrayal of a one-man military industrial complex.
