Actor Anthony James R.I.P.

Anthony James Dead: ‘Unforgiven’ Actor Was 77 – Variety

I always enjoyed Anthony James, a very good actor and always a smarmy or creepy delight! I am coincidentally watching In the Heat of the Night as I type this.
R.I.P.

 

oh yes I recognize him...Rest In Peace...

 

Flies. Why did it have to be flies?

 

He was so creepy as the chauffeur in Burnt offerings.

He will always be the "Foul Owl" late night employee to me. Plus of course his confession
at the end of the film.

 

Oh he was always good. An A gamer just by walking on set.

 

Never even heard of him until now.

 

Damn... RIP. A truly great character actor.

First thing I ever saw him in was actually an episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. He owned that episode! Love him in Unforgiven.

 

Here are all of his roles.

He retired from acting in 1992 and later became a painter. In 1994, he published a book of art and poetry, Language of the Heart, and his autobiography, Acting My Face, was published in 2014.

 

Always get a kick out of this scene and the thing he pulls on Warren Oates ' with the pie. Great movie.

 

Check out ' In The Heat of the Night' --I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

 

I've seen In The Heat Of The Night before, but not in a really long time.

 

For me, one of his memorable scenes:

That reminds me, I have not seen Vanishing Point in several years, seems like it's never on cable.
I've never seen the remake with Viggo Mortensen, I assume it's not very good.

 

RIP Anthony James...terrific actor...sad news wrapping up May...we have lost so many....thank you for all your Art on screen and published too!

 

Quincy was my favorite show back in the late '70s, I never missed an episode. Anthony James was in an episode in a somewhat small but memorable role as a junkie, who was briefly a murder suspect until Quincy quickly ruled him out as the killer.
His performance in that episode really stood out.

 

Didn't recognize the name but his face was very familiar from many films and TV shows.
R.I.P. James

 

RIP Anthony....thanks for the memories.

 

One of those guys who made a big impression as an actor, even if you didn’t know his name. Can’t find many details about his personal life, other than he spent his life caring for his mother, who died in 2008.

RIP, Anthony James

 

High Plains Drifter.

he just looked like a slimy nogood rotter.
RIP

 

oh that's a great movie!!

 

I only saw it when it aired on TV years ago, but that TV movie was better than I thought it would be.

Another Anthony James role popped into my head today, he had a small role as a bad guy in Blue Thunder, the movie with Roy Scheider flying a helicopter-on-steroids dangerously throughout L.A.
If that movie was made today it would have to be mostly CGI

 

Yes, he didn't have a lot of screen time with that role, but he was very effective in it. You could tell what a cold, cunning criminal he was.
