He is probably best known for his UsefulNotes/AcademyAward-nominated role in Creator/TheCoenBrothers' masterpiece ''Film/{{Fargo}}'', although prior to that his career was strong and built on both small independant films and action movie blockbusters.

He describes himself, accurately, as "sort of a Middle American, [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant WASPy]], Lutheran kind of guy... [[TheEveryman Everyman]]".
