He's been a punching bag in movies many times before, and just recently signed on to the action thriller "The Prone Gunman." Likewise, the upcoming "Gangster Squad" will find the two-time Oscar winner buried in makeup as the take-no-prisoners mobster Mickey Cohen. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to cast him as an over-the-hill hero or villain whose glory days are behind him. Specifically, he would make an excellent choice to play the washed-up DC hero Wildcat if Warner Bros. were to make a "Justice Society of America" movie.
