Richard Lynch

Actor -- via Fox News. One of the great film and television villains of our time!

An extremely sensitive and persuasive performer, Lynch was best known for his bad-guy work, beginning with "Scarecrow" in 1973. In the tradition of the greats in the horror, sci-fi and action film genres, Lynch was utterly dependable but never phoned it in, always coming up with a new and compelling angle and transcending the limits of the scenario.
