Alternative Heroes - Donald Pleasence

Really, there is nothing alternative about Donald Pleasence... he is a bona fide hero in capital letters with an exclamation mark afterwards. In such groundbreaking films as Escape from New York, Halloween and The Great Escape, Pleasence is nothing short of a movie god...

Known as the "hypnotic eye", he manages to bring a presence to his films that transcends mere script and direction and touches on something very special...

For being the Blofeld that is finally revealed to Bond, for being a very believeable forger in the epochal The Great Escape, and for being the one person that I can successfully impersonate without looking a complete fool, Donald Pleasence, you are an alternative hero...
