Actor: Ray Winstone

Ray Winstone was an amateur boxer before acting, and Scum, made for television and then remade for cinema, gave him a borstal inmate of considerable violence at twenty.

Nil by Mouth, for Gary Oldman, is his best performance, playing a domestic abuser without any mitigation offered.

Sexy Beast reversed it, casting him as the retired criminal being terrorised, and The Departed and Beowulf gave him American work. He has worked with Scorsese three times.
