Busey Bites 3




Here we have Mr. Busey in a much more subdued role, having only a small part in David Lynch's Lost Highway (1997) playing Balthazar Getty's father.  Gary says nothing in this particular scene, but it's one hell of an entrance none the less; decked out in leather and shades with his wife (Lucy Butler) he looks like James Dean crossed with The Judder Man.

What is particularly special in this scene, for me, is how clearly it demonstrates the volume of Gary Busey's head.  There's something almost Tyrannosaurus Rex-like about its size, particularly when his mouth is agape; I kind of expect him to leap on the desk, little arms bunched up to his chest, and rip the heads off the odd assortment of penitentiary bureaucrats fearfully looking on at the leather-clad blonde mensch who's just waltzed into their world.

Later penitentiary bureaucrats...
