Tom Savini is primarily a special effects technician and makeup artist for a lot of really great horror movies (and some incredibly shitty ones), but he also does a lot of acting. Though he mostly plays small roles, he's always memorable. He's a very funny, naturalistic actor, though he's also adept at playing batshit nutzoids. Tom Savini, I like the cut of your jib.
