He was extremely good, carried a show most of the time he was in one.

Citizen X is his best role imo. He and Stephen Rea were absolute nails

His finest hour remains a might past 1/2 thru ...-Invasion of the Body Snatchers-... in '78. His group has formed in his apartment to plan. He catches (us) in his reflection in a hallway mirror. Just a sheen of tears cover his eyes as recognition hits that no one will survive this.

I know when it's comin' 45+ years on and I hate it.
But I jack the Lazy Boy and stand for it, every.single.time.

One forgotten, but underrated character he played was the diabolical blackshirt foreman in Bertolucci’s “1900.”

Loved him in Backdraft and A Time to Kill as well.

Most quotable performance from him is basically any line in Outbreak. Always solid, always delivered his part.

RIP

RIP. Bad stretch of years for Canadian stars. He was a much better actor than any of his children.

...I thought Keifer hit it solid there as "Stand by Me" winds down when he catches Phoenix trying to take credit for finding that body..."And if you think we're forgetting about this, you're wrong. This is big time, baby."

His "Ace Merrill" was a complete character creation that never flagged nor failed for 90 minutes..."If either of you had $2,000 I'd kill ya both."

A year later in '87 he took that same character into "The Lost Boys" and raised hell therein.

Keifer is solid imo. Not sure if he got blackballed in Hollywood but he's better than many of the roles he's accepted.

Yep, I never got the nepo-baby feel from him, regardless of whether it's true or not.

Solid indeed. Truth or Consequences, N.M. is a good look at his directing and acting chops. Worth a view (or a revisit). The 90s might be the best all-around decade for films, ever. Even the garbage of that decade was wildly entertaining compared to the horseshit now.

I forgot he was in "Johnny Got His Gun," easily one of the most powerful anti-war films I've ever seen--and without any gore or physical violence...just a constant feeling of claustrophobia, isolation and helplessless
