Imgur teaches me so damn much. I knew of William Hootkins because he was from Dallas. But what I did not know until I looked it up as a result of this post was Lee Harvey Oswald’s wife and their children lived with Hootkins’ high school Russian teacher, so Hootkins got caught up in the JFK investigation, and he graduated from the same high school as Tommy Lee Jones, one year behind him in the same drama group.
Not quite. There is also actor Shane Rimmer, who starred in Star Wars, three Bond Films, Superman I, II & III, Dr. Strangelove and Batman Begins. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shane_Rimmer
At least it's his less creepy performances. I'm thinking of at least one where he was a greasy, upsetting pervert, and another where he was a greasy, upsetting corporate executive.
Bad fansplaining. Dutch Vader and German Vater are pronounced with a short A (as in "father"), not with a dipthong. Lucas thought of the centuries-old daddy plot twist after he had Leia kiss Luke. Then there's Greedo, Grievous, and again, Sidious. "Yeah, we're the bad guys".
In General Veers is the bad guy from the third Indiana Jones movie. The guy who said, “Lord Vader, the shield generator will be down in moment, you may start your landing.”
Maybe there have been other versions, I always thought Bullock was a hard nose, tough-guy cop, but never a dirty one. A difficult man to like, doesn't get along with anyone, but one of Gordon's top men because of his devotion to protecting people.

The Greasy Pervert was in Hardware and it shocked me when I found out how many Films he'd been in
AirshipNavigator
Hardware was possible the best dystopian cyberpunk music video/movie an early 20-something could take a girl to...
JHord1985
Shame they had to rip off 2000AD to get it made. But it was still pretty good.
Filanwizard
Ive heard rumors that warehouse scene from Raiders is basically what inspired SCP and Warehouse 13.

I never knew Porkins was also Eckhardt

Bill Hootkins is mentioned in the Warren Report on the Kennedy assignation. Oswald's wife tutored him in Russian. Totally not making this up.

Was he some studio exec's relative?

He also narrated the show "Extreme Machines" on either the Learning or Discovery channel.

I still can't believe they actually named him Porkins. I mean come on
PlanetLXI
Wasn't his characters name in Indy Major Eaton also.
tamajor
The character was supposed to have pig prosthetics, but they couldn't afford the makeup. Lucas is not a nuanced storyteller.
koops
Isn’t he on something like the 9th version of starwars a new hope? How many more passes you wanna take George?
Alvaren
wait till you learn about Elan Sel'Sabagno (Sleazebaggano), he was the guy who tried selling drugs to Obi-Wan drugs
dingo8yrbaby
When I saw "Star Wars" in the theater for the first time, the audience broke out laughing when his name was announced.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Well, there's a baddy called inVADER, and another called in inSIDIOUS.

There's a baddy called Vader and it's German for father... Which is what the story is about. George Lucas is an idiot.

Bad fansplaining. Dutch Vader and German Vater are pronounced with a short A (as in "father"), not with a dipthong. Lucas thought of the centuries-old daddy plot twist after he had Leia kiss Luke. Then there's Greedo, Grievous, and again, Sidious. "Yeah, we're the bad guys".

STFU! He was Bullock?! I can't believe i never saw it before

He wasn't Bullock in name though.

In General Veers is the bad guy from the third Indiana Jones movie. The guy who said, “Lord Vader, the shield generator will be down in moment, you may start your landing.”
SuperGeniusPS
He's also in Flash Gordon
LokiShade
AhhhhhhhhAhhhhhhh!
dennydorko
He was called "Eckhardt" in the movie, bit it definitely felt like the same character.
bitemark
Nah, only similar looks in passing, because that's standard noir detective cop outfit. This guy was lazy and corrupt, nothing like Bullock
greatgoatman

Yep, that is the standard Bullock. A total fucking asshole but at the end of the day cares about doing the right thing.

He was also in Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.

No one was in that movie because it did not ever exist.

I have to admit it's a terrible movie.

That suit is even more terrible than the movie itself. And that's really saying something.
