Let me just say that he improved every movie he was in - rare Star quality and a great human being
"I am not an animal " - heartbreaking

I'm a major "parody lover" so my favorite role of his is when he parodied himself in Spaceballs. When the alien cracked out of his chest he said "Oh no, not again!"
He will be missed.

The Elephant Man (1980) . John Merrick
All the Little Animals (1998).Mr. Summers
Hellboy (2004) . Trevor "Broom" Bruttenholm
Way too many great roles to choose from. I picked 3 that probably won't get a lot of mention from others but gave me great joy.
The truth of life has been revealed.

For me he'll always be Winston Smith from 1984, but I also love him as Max in Midnight Express, John Merrick in The Elephant Man, Kane in Alien and James Graham in Rob Roy.
