A pleasantly wicked - that's the sort I imagine him appreciating the best, though who knows, maybe he's a teddy-bear in real life and not the creep he's lead us all to believe... say it ain't so though, seriously - 64th birthday going out to genre stalwart Udo Kier today.
Basically... I can't imagine anyone that's never seen Udo in a movie. Thinking back to the first time I took note of him though, it was in high school when I watched Paul Morrissey's Flesh For Frankenstein and Blood For Dracula flicks (for all the naked Joe Dallesandro goodness, natch)...
(goddamn look at Little Joe... so fucking pretty)
... but once I noticed Udo, there was no looking back - he was everywhere. Whether he's riding on the backs of naked male models for Madonna's Sex book or showing up in Lars Von Trier's latest exercise in humiliation... this man has lived, y'all. And he's still everywhere; I saw him just a couple of months ago in Argento's Mother of Tears, and apparently he's in Rob Zombie's Halloween remake (still ain't watched it), and he's got seven (!) movies in some sort of production right this second.
This man is film royalty, for real. All hail King Udo!
