Actor: Ving Rhames

Ving Rhames played Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction, and the character’s authority is established almost entirely through the back of his head in the opening scenes.

He has played Luther Stickell across every Mission: Impossible film, which makes him the only actor besides Tom Cruise to appear in all of them.

He won a Golden Globe for Don King: Only in America and gave the trophy to Jack Lemmon on stage, saying Lemmon deserved it more, which is one of the more remarkable moments in awards history.
