With his strange appearance and distinctive voice, it is hard to miss John Hawkes in any of the numerous films he has been in. While he is just now starting to get some attention, you can see he has been around for many years and in some great geeky works.


I was introduced to him through the HBO series Deadwood. Really great actor.
Yeah, and he just seems to keep getting better. I was surprised when I was watching Buffy season 2 yesterday to see him there. lol
Ha! I did NOT know he was in that…
