Of English and Indian descent, he is superb in Sexy Beast, Don Logan, one of my all time favourite film characters and a completely different character to Ghandi!

Also Kingsley's acting in Schindler's List...awesome performance....as well as "House of Sand and Fog"
Lawrence of Arabia is one of my very favorites. I must have seen this amazing movie 20 times over my lifetime. It is not only beautifully filmed, Peter O'Toole is perfection.
A current favorite scene in a movie is the Jeremy Irons character in Margin Call when he, as the chairman of the board of an investment bank, calls his board together for a midnight crisis meeting. He nailed this character John Huld.

Well, not so much the actor but the character such as the late James Olson as "Thane" in "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero" in the interrogation scene. Now, granted, as the psychopathic Thane, James Olson filled the roll beautifully.
Yaphet Kotto was pretty great through out "Live and Let Die" but then again what Roger Moore said in his diary on that movie, the Villains always get such great lines.
Similarly, I suppose, all the movie parts I have done monologues to on the stage, from Colonel (Georgia) Taylor in the opening of POTA ("And that completes my final report until we reach touch down.....") to being Blofeld in OHMSS and revealing my plan of bacteria warfare to being Dr. Heather Floyd in 2010 on aerobraking.............ALTHOUGH as that last one was done in the movie, that was WEAK! My monologue to my husband Jonathan was much better.

I love Postcards From the Edge and I watch it mostly to see Meryl Streep and Shirley McClaine do their thing. And it has THE best ending I've ever seen!
Jeff Bridges in Fearless. I rarely find anyone who knows this movie, and yet it is excellent acting by Bridges, Isabella Rosselini, and Rosie Perez. I had actually read the true story of the man on whom the movie/character was based years before, and having experienced PTSD, I appreciated the way he portrayed it. (Short version--a man survives a plane crash in which his best friend is killed, is noted for saving a child from the plane, and claims to be OK, but he is actually detached from his family and wife and experiencing extreme PTSD. The only person with whom he can connect is another survivor who lost her baby in the crash.)
I can watch the nearly-last scene, when you finally see what he experienced as the plane was going down, over and over.
