One of the first faces that come to mind when you think of the phrase "[[TheWestern western]] villain". Clarence Leroy Van Cleef (1925-1989) started out as one of the villain's henchmen in ''HighNoon'' (a bit part he apparently got because the director thought he had an evil-looking face) and went on playing {{mook}}s in various westerns and films noirs during the 1950s. Then his career gradually fizzled out, partly because he'd injured his leg badly in a car accident but likely also because he had a drinking problem. In the mid-60s, Creator/SergioLeone resurrected Van Cleef's career by giving him major supporting roles in ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'' and ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', which brought him to stardom in Europe. He continued to star in [[SpaghettiWestern spaghetti westerns]] for much of his subsequent career.

->''A lot of actors think that the more words they have, the more attention they get. That's bullshit. I make people ''look'' at me. I don't have to say a lot of words."''
One of the first faces that come to mind when you think of the phrase "[[TheWestern western]] villain". He started out as one of the villain's henchmen in ''HighNoon'' (a bit part he apparently got because the director thought he had an evil-looking face) and went on playing {{mook}}s in various westerns and films noirs during the 1950s. Then his career gradually fizzled out, partly because he'd injured his leg badly in a car accident but likely also because he had a drinking problem. In the mid-60s, SergioLeone resurrected Van Cleef's career by giving him major supporting roles in ''Film/ForAFewDollarsMore'' and ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'', which brought him to stardom in Europe. He continued to star in [[SpaghettiWestern spaghetti westerns]] for much of his subsequent career.
Van Cleef reportedly claimed to be [[QuickDraw faster on the draw]] than ClintEastwood in real life. A sequence at the climax of Film/ForAFewDollarsMore shows him drawing, cocking and firing a gun in three frames of footage, which translates to roughly one-eighth of a second. He's also one of relatively few actors to appear in more than one movie on ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' (he was in both ''Film/ItConqueredTheWorld'' and ''MasterNinja''). He was [[RedRightHand missing most of his middle finger on his right hand]], as a result of an attempt to make a playhouse for one of his daughters.
Of course, while he's known for playing villains, he's also played heroic (or at least sympathetic) characters on more than a few occasions, including ''For a Few Dollars More'' and most of the other spaghetti westerns he appeared in.
[[FountainOfExpies Characters based on Van Cleef's appearance and/or the type of character]] he tended to play include [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Revolver Ocelot]], [[MetalGearSolid4 Old Snake]], [[HisDarkMaterials Lee Scoresby]], [[StarWarsTheCloneWars Cad Bane]], [[{{Rango}} Rattlesnake Jake]], [[{{Firefly}} Jayne Cobb]] and [[ShanghaiNoon Marshall Nathan Van Cleef]].

->''"I came into this town in a stage play called ''Literature/MisterRoberts''. Stanley Kramer saw it and put me in a picture called ''HighNoon''. The first time I went into his office he told me to go fix my nose and I told him to go fuck himself.''
