Yeah, he had the gang leader position in Ladykillers, but that's not exactly a tough-guy role. Even in Road To Perdition, though it's part the creation of the character (having this family guy core), he looks like he's playing dress up, especially compared to someone like Daniel Craig or even Paul Newman in the same film.

>Maybe someone like William H. Macy?

In Fargo, he's more weasely than tough, I guess. But he spazzed out in Magnolia, right? I think he could manage that kind of gone-and-snapped type of violent deviant. Like Gary Oldman-lite.
