Michael Ironside is a fun actor to watch. He's at his best playing a very intense, focused, goal-driven, my-way-or-no-f***ing-way kind of guy--without respect to the motive. He's a great good antihero, and he's a great villain.
When I first tried my hand at writing, I had him in mind when I came up with a Marine special operations unit commander.

Yeap, Michael Ironside is a good actor and does play an excellent villain, anything from his role in Scanners, to Total Recall to his voice acting in Heavymetal 2000. (I would tell you my favorite Michael Ironside quote from that adult cartoon movie, but it might get me banned. ;D)

He only has two rules. Everyone fights. No one quits. If you don't do your job, he'll kill you himself. Welcome to the Roughnecks.
