His IMDb resume is seriously impressive. Long list of quality projects. Besides Sense and Sensibility, my initial role association was Juntao in Rush Hour. He had Alan Rickman range, romantically charming and believably threatening.

"completely suited to the horny decadence"

...is the new "addicted to the shindig"

...which was the new "knee-deep in the hoopla"

Richard Romanus -- pretty excellent in Mean Streets as Michael, the too-nice loan shark who's a bit more dangerous than he appears.

Terrific also as the voice of lethal cabby Harry Canyon in the dystopian noir segment of Heavy Metal.

“Frank Sinatra once saved my life,” Greene quipped. “A bunch of guys were beating on me and Frank said, ‘OK, that’s enough.’ ”

Shecky played Christie Lane--a stand-up comedian and a stand-up guy--in what I usually name as my favourite bad movie, The Love Machine.

Sad coincidence of Richard Rampton, the brilliant lead barrister in the Irving v Lipstadt libel case, and Tom Wilkinson, who played him in the movie "Denial", both dying in late December, within days of one another.
