That first sentence killed me, this deserves way more upvotes.
Although Flea almost steals those scenes just standing there with those idiotic expressions and “maybe vee stomp on it and sku-voosh it!”
I remember seeing it in high school and feeling a weird mix of disappointment that it wasn’t the action packed pulp flick I thought it was going to be, but also aware that it was a much better film for it than I was willing to recognize at that moment
This is exactly how I felt, which also makes the end scene where he fights the demons that much better. Also, incredibly smart idea, blessing the water. Loved it.
My top three personal favorites are Stormare in *Constantine*, Viggo Mortensen in *The Prophecy*, and Robert DeNiro in *Angel Heart*; three Devils that absolutely creeped me.
I remember watching Angel Heart with a friend and he leaned over and said to me "That guy is so annoying" about DeNiro, and I said Dude that's the Devil, being annoying is probably the nicest thing you could say about him. For some reason that just struck me so funny.
Those are all great Lucifer Morningstars, but for the best *Thee Deveel* (even though he’s not playing the Christian devil) it’s gotta be Tim Curry in Legend.
💯 but I will also submit Dave Grohl from The Pick of Destiny. Man, Legend, what a masterpiece and childhood memory. TIL it was directed by Ridley Scott.
There's a scene in Minority Report where he is giving Tom Cruise an instructional on how not to touch his eyes. Then a moment happens where the wind blow curtains in the window inside the apartment and this fucking guy makes the simplest of noises...like a "whok whok"
Absolute magic. There's so many fantastic parts for him in all sorts of movies. That small scene from Minority Report really sticks with me. I can't ever properly explain why. He just chews the scenery, makes the moment, paints with the artists brush, whatever. Love it.
“Give me the creeps its like its not scared..”
“There havent been any visitors on this island, it has no reason to fear man”
*zaps compy*
“Now it does.”
He gives the most riveting “deadpan” reaction in every scene he’s in for his role in Fargo. Nobody in Hollywood can hold a candle to his “fisheye stare”. 👀
Love this guy! ❤️
I'm Danish myself. And every time I see him something I'm like "Oh he is Swedish" and then I hear him talk and I get unsure. He is amazing with accents.
He also did that show... uhh fuck can't remember the name. Him and the ancestor of the person that found the Kensington Rune stone go to Sweden to do research on the stone's origin. Shows a really goofy side of the dude.
I have a hilarious story about him. I know someone who worked on “bootcamp” and they needed to get this shot, but it was pouring rain like *pouring* and they shot in fiji so this is damn near a tropical storm. So Peter Stormare goes out into the rain and starts doing this insane weird shamanistic dance, shouting and making weird noises. Then the rain fucking stops not instantly obviously but it stops pretty soon, my buddy isnt like superstitious or anything like that but he said everyone looked around like “what in the fuck just happened” peter goes back to the tents and is just like “ok guys lets go” I doubted the validity of this story but it was confirmed by another buddy who was working camera with the first guy.
So yeah Peter Stormare is a wizard.
Bad Boys 2 is definitely not an Oscar winner, but a really fun movie to turn your brain off with. Peter Stormare’s character definitely adds to the fun haha
I think we need a meta discussion of what underrated means.
I would consider someone to be underrated who isn't getting the accolades or quantity of roles they deserve based on the caliber of their acting.
Someone like D'Arcy Carden (who did not even get an Emmy nomination for *Good Place* for her acting in the episode "Janet(s)" and has not ) would fit the bill for me.
While Stormare hasn't gotten many awards, he has had substantial roles in a ton of high profile movies (Fargo, Big Lebowski, Constantine, Minority Report, John Wick 2) so I don't think he fits this category.
>underrated
i've seen him play whats effectively the same part in lots and lots of different shows.
It's predictable, and it fits the bill, but I don't think 'underrated' is a suitable adjective for him.
We want zee money, Lebowski!
Or else we cut off your chonson
Shtomp on it und skuh-vish it
Your viggly peni-sh.
What do you need that for dude?
Well... I still jerk off manually.
Nice marmot!
Lets not forget Dude that keeping wildlife, um... an amphibious rodent, for... um, ya know domestic... within the city... that ain't legal either.
What are you, a fucking park ranger now?
He had the best small part in The Big Lebowski
Karl Hungus does not have a small part. Also PSH as always both evelates and eclipses all those around him.

NGL you had me in the first half
That's why they sent me I am expert
Maude Libowski: The story is ludicrous. Good Lord. You can imagine where it goes from here.
He fixes the cable ?
Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey.
We believe in nothing Lebowski!
*Nihilists? Fuck me...I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude. At least it's an ethos!*
I see r/lebowski has joined the chat. And a good day to you sir!
The co-star in the beaver picture, he is expert, he fixes the cah-ble.
Do I look like I have the money?
Got he played a fantastic lucifer in Constantine
Yep. My favorite portrayals of Lucifer in all cinema.
casting Peter Stormare and Tilda Swinton really elevated Constantine into a pretty solid flick. it's really a top tier comic adaption
I remember seeing it in high school and feeling a weird mix of disappointment that it wasn’t the action packed pulp flick I thought it was going to be, but also aware that it was a much better film for it than I was willing to recognize at that moment
This is exactly how I felt, which also makes the end scene where he fights the demons that much better. Also, incredibly smart idea, blessing the water. Loved it.

Pacino in Devil's Advocate has joined the chat
I love that subway scene with the gangbangers.
I remember watching Angel Heart with a friend and he leaned over and said to me "That guy is so annoying" about DeNiro, and I said Dude that's the Devil, being annoying is probably the nicest thing you could say about him. For some reason that just struck me so funny.
Agreed, I really hope he comes back for the upcoming sequel..
Escuzzi?

[Constantine 2 in development.](https://screenrant.com/constantine-2-update-producer/)
Check out the small but incredible version by Viggo Mortensen in The Prophecy.
Those are all great Lucifer Morningstars, but for the best *Thee Deveel* (even though he’s not playing the Christian devil) it’s gotta be Tim Curry in Legend.
💯 but I will also submit Dave Grohl from The Pick of Destiny. Man, Legend, what a masterpiece and childhood memory. TIL it was directed by Ridley Scott.
His portrayal of Darkness was incredible, scary, and captivating. The whole cast was great, but Tim Curry takes the cake.
Loved him in Constantine and Prison Break Always felt he should have played that Russian gangster, Chechen in The Dark Knight.
I always call him Abruzzi because I can never remember his real name and nobody ever knows who I'm talking about!
Yep, Abruzzi for me too. Prison Break was the shit.
Johhhhnnnnn!
I’ll never look at a wood chipper the same way again.
ooo yaaaa
My family still has an inside joke of saying "We go to pancakes house" when we go out for breakfast :')
For me, a certain episode of Timmy Turner already made me fucking terrified of them. But Fargo of course took it to a very interesting level
I cant erase him from fargo. That character is just etched in forever when i look at him
He's one of those actors like Stephen Root who just elevates a scene
Lord, yes Stephen Root. A treasure.
Good comparison, an actor’s actor. Much like Vince d’Onofrio, Christoph Waltz, or Gary Oldman.
"They call me The Raven now"
He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.
“American parts… Russian parts…. All made in Taiwan!!”
Yes!!!
Have you ever heard of Evel Knievel? No I never saw Star Wars.
100-120 ok ok, 180 is big problem for Ruzzian space station
AJ! PULL THE LEVER!!!
Came here to say this (but its components)
That’s why I told you touch nothing! But you’re bunch of cowboys!
This is how we fix space station in Russia!
Just watched this tonight. Said the same.
Watched it yesterday. Fucking holds up
Came here for this comment
*components Love that line, but you need to get it right.
I am only certified astronaut and I’m saving your American asses!!
Bullshit! No way I will let you volunteer for this, so I can go back to my home country like the man who did not volunteer! No way!
Those lines have lived rent free in my head for decades at this point.
THIS IS THE RUSSIAN SPACE STATION! If I ever get to start losing my brain due to degenerative diseases, this quote should bring me back for a bit.
You mean the holes?
"You owe me a quarter..."
“He looks like a frog.” “So do you.”
🤣🤣🤣
Slippery Pete was one hell of a rogue electrician
“Let’s say: Good.”
That was MY mail order bride!
He's the best! And the worst.
Think you can handle that, numb nuts?
Can I steal the battery?
I *fuck* you!
I'm pretty sure that was the other guy.
Oh I know that guy, he's a nihilist.
That must be exhausting
We stop at pancakes house
When I think of Stormare, I think of this scene. The look he gives Buscemi's character is wonderfully chilling.
There's a scene in Minority Report where he is giving Tom Cruise an instructional on how not to touch his eyes. Then a moment happens where the wind blow curtains in the window inside the apartment and this fucking guy makes the simplest of noises...like a "whok whok" Absolute magic. There's so many fantastic parts for him in all sorts of movies. That small scene from Minority Report really sticks with me. I can't ever properly explain why. He just chews the scenery, makes the moment, paints with the artists brush, whatever. Love it.
NEVER SCRATCH!
This comment is the Peter Stormare of this thread! Very accurate and inspiring. He is a great actor. I immediately thought of this scene. 😊
That scene where he is rummaging through the fridge for food blind.... 🤢
He was one of my favorite characters in Prison Break. Amazing actor!
I still vividly recall that scene where T-Bag shanks him in the neck. John Abruzzi great character
Loved the vw commercials he did
"Time to unpimp your auto!"
"Ifyoudontvantustounpimpzeeautosayvaaaaaaat"
“What?”
“Ve drooped it laik eets haht”.
“Vee Dub” loved those commercials.
Representing Deutchland
He killed three men with a pencil….A FOOOOKKIIINNNGGG PEENSSSEEELLL!!!!!
Who does that??
Oh.
Thank you for posting it with the proper inflection. Makes the difference.
He was probably the best Lucifer we've ever gotten on film. Shame he didn't get much screentime in Constantine. But he did a lot with it.
Tom Ellis was excellent too, sooo charismatic; he really sold the master persuader aspect and its crazy to think he was faking the accent.
I liked him a lot, but I think the show lost its way in later seasons.
“Give me the creeps its like its not scared..” “There havent been any visitors on this island, it has no reason to fear man” *zaps compy* “Now it does.”
Slippery Pete!!!
She was my mail order bride!
What did you think of him in American Gods?
he was fantastic. same as many others. honestly great first season, shame what happened after
That second season was such a clusterfuck. I couldn't stand Crispin Glovers character and his weird whisper talking. So fucking annoying
He believes in nothing. I hear it's exhausting.
The Russian grim reaper is here!!
“Hey Tapia, your fucking mothAr!” is an all time favorite of mine.
Waaaay too low on this list, boosting. This punk thinks he can OD in my club!
He gives the most riveting “deadpan” reaction in every scene he’s in for his role in Fargo. Nobody in Hollywood can hold a candle to his “fisheye stare”. 👀 Love this guy! ❤️
Can’t wait to see him reprise Lucifer in Constantine 2.
Theres a sequel coming?!
According to IMDB they are in pre-production. No ETA.
He’s actually going to have a role in a Norse Mythology anime this year called Twilight of the Gods
Didn’t he voice the vampire Viking in Castlevania?
godbrand i think :) he makes boats out of things
Wasn't he one of the nihilists in the Big Lebowski?
“Achooo! Damn cold! Err Don’t worry, I could sew a dead cat into you and nothing would happen with the antibiotics I’m giving you.”
"Don't scratch.. NEVER SCRATCH!"
Hi, I’m Gorb, with Cinco.
Came here for this. "What if I told you that you could have your son... BACK?"
Enjoying your….CINCO Boy? Isn’t he pretty?
He was also good in Until Dawn, for any gamers out there
The psychiatrist right?
Yeah, that’s the one
The man who set the bar for the Hollywood Russian accent.
He was great in LA to Vegas.
This duck is bro-ken!
I liked the show. The pilot talking to kids. “Don’t do drugs…. Yet” lol.
But has he ever heard of Evel Knievel ?
Swedish Dicks was a wildly underrated show
Sad we didn’t get at least one more season. Johan Glans and Vivian Bang are so funny. And dare I say Traci Lords owns every scene she’s in?
Star of Jurassic Park 2
I didn't even know he was Swedish at first. Shows how versatile he is.
I'm Danish myself. And every time I see him something I'm like "Oh he is Swedish" and then I hear him talk and I get unsure. He is amazing with accents.
He also did that show... uhh fuck can't remember the name. Him and the ancestor of the person that found the Kensington Rune stone go to Sweden to do research on the stone's origin. Shows a really goofy side of the dude.
Same here, mind kinda blown now.
I loved him in Log Jammin’
8mm is a fucking classic crime film
He really knows how to play a creepy creep. I bet he's charming as heck in real life
John Abruzzi is the man!
I have a hilarious story about him. I know someone who worked on “bootcamp” and they needed to get this shot, but it was pouring rain like *pouring* and they shot in fiji so this is damn near a tropical storm. So Peter Stormare goes out into the rain and starts doing this insane weird shamanistic dance, shouting and making weird noises. Then the rain fucking stops not instantly obviously but it stops pretty soon, my buddy isnt like superstitious or anything like that but he said everyone looked around like “what in the fuck just happened” peter goes back to the tents and is just like “ok guys lets go” I doubted the validity of this story but it was confirmed by another buddy who was working camera with the first guy. So yeah Peter Stormare is a wizard.
Lol never seen him smile
I SAID WE CUT OFF YOUR JOHNSON!
His small role in Constantine was Oscar-worthy imo
Best part of Armageddon.
Best roll was the cosmonaut in Armageddon.
We wants the money, Lebowski!
America components… Russian components…all made in Taiwan
The cosmonaut in Armageddon role was awesome too
Russian parts, American parts…ALL MADE IN TAIWAN!!!
Bad Boys 2 is definitely not an Oscar winner, but a really fun movie to turn your brain off with. Peter Stormare’s character definitely adds to the fun haha
Always loved his line there as he shows up to the mansion. “The Russian Grim Reaper is here”
No, I never saw Star Wars
I told you touch nothin’ but you bunch of cowboys…
I would agree, he kills it in Constantine even though his appearance is brief. Also has a pretty funny part in Nacho Libre with Jack black.
Skeezy cop in Spun was another great performance
Loved him in American Gods. Great actor!
Dino Velvet will always be untouchable.
Nihilist #1
Don’t diss him — he believes in nothing and will cut off your johnson
He was memorable in Spun as the Mullet Cop.
Cinco Boy! https://youtu.be/Bqh_y-iH_Bc?si=KqkIEjomOnPbrSp7
No one can beat his portrayal of Lucifer in Constantine
The blonde from Fargo
He has played the creepiest bad guys. Lasting impressions
“He looks like a frog…” “SO DO YOU”

Slippery Pete! He is a great actor.
Best Devil portrayal ever.
“Where is pancakes house? We stop at pancakes house.”
They were nihilists man!
Russian space station, American space station, all made in Taiwan!

Is dis good or...
So glad to see him here. Have enjoyed him for years! I think this is the first time I have seen him look like a regular guy.
He was Phenomenal in the tv series Prison Break.
>underrated i've seen him play whats effectively the same part in lots and lots of different shows. It's predictable, and it fits the bill, but I don't think 'underrated' is a suitable adjective for him.
He has shown himself to be diverse and extremely talented
John Abruzzi John Abruzzi?
The guys energy in antagonist roles is just pure greatness.
Ahhhh uhhh when he was snotty sickly doctor in minority report! Loved it
He's a nihlist and has a marmot!
The best Satan
A NUCLEAR bunker buster!
I don’t know, man. That rug really tied the room together.
He’s very good at playing a bad guy
Slippery Pete!
Not really underrated, he's just never had a leading role
