anntI agree with you. He is such a powerful actor (despite his physical stature). I am lucky to have the videos of the films you mentioned (Dog Day, Serpico). All GF, Glen Garry Glen Ross, Scent of a Woman, Sea of Love and Devils Advocate are the other films he was great in. Yeah he is more intense (just the eyes/look, it would scare the living crap out of you lol).
