Here's another great character actor steeped in the theater
found a niche in the 70's playing real creepy guy roles which
guess what? He's great at! Andy now runs the entire theater
program at UCSC. Interestingly enough his two best roles
are his first two. First in 1971's Dirty Harry as "Scorpio"
(El Creepo) and then in 1973's Charley Varrick as the
creepy sidekick robber not happy with his portion
of the loot who meets his terrible fate at the hands
of Mafia hitman Joe Don Baker in one of the movies
many great scenes. I don't know if I'd say it was
worthy of an Oscar but damn close, a great performance.
Andy is 73 now and still at UCSC, we salute you sir!
