I liked him in City of Ghosts (even though Depardieu stole the show).

He played tough guys and was born in a tough part of NYC (same area as Pacino).  Really irks me to hear fake Noo Yawk accents in movies.

 

Maybe City of Ghosts is not well-known, he plays a con man hiding out in Cambodia.  It may remind you of certain characters you'd meet in LOS.
