1. Dead Ringers. A really disturbing movie. But Irons was great.

He was aslo really good in another Cronenberg movie, M. Butterfly.

2. I didn't realize Cronenberg directed that. Now I must see it. Did Irons

play the Western guy or was he the "courtesan" role?

8. It's funny, I had to ask, because I could kinda see him playing either.

Then I figured they probably got someone Asian to be the "female" role.

3. Voted for Claus VonB...

because of that line he speaks when the lawyer says "You're really strange", or something like that, and Claus leans forward and says "You have NO idea...".
One of my favorite movie line deliveries.

He also turned in a perfect performance in a movie called "Damaged". I think it was French.

Also, he did a great job in Lolita.
Even better than James Mason (and I LOVE James Mason).
