One of the all-time great character actors, this guy ruled in everything he was in. Most notably, he took what was a seriously dumb idea in Kevin Smith's Tusk and made it terrifyingly compelling. In my opinion, he far surpasses the likes of Simmons and Norton that year in Supporting Actor, and it's only due to Gary Poulter's riveting work that keeps Parks from securing my Supporting Actor gong in 2014.
A real shame. RIP, Jean Renault.

 Just as he was getting some of his best work after having been in the game so long. Most recently really liked his scenes with Gibson in Blood Father. You could see his character's whole history in him with just a couple minutes of dialogue.

Parks had a way of imbuing each and every character with decades' worth of history somehow. It is the rarest of talents. You never once saw him "acting." I really hope Hostiles gave him a plum part for his swan song. |
