Biography
Burly and heavyset character actor Mark Boone Jr. specialized in portrayals of thuggish rednecks and imposing blue-collar types, occasionally those with a slightly shady undercurrent. Boone first stepped in front of the camera in the early '80s, and grew more prolific over time; he was memorable in films such as the 1990
Die Hard 2 (as a terrorist), the 1995
Seven (as a greasy FBI agent), and the 2003
2 Fast 2 Furious (as a detective). His onscreen activity crescendoed circa 2005, with performances in four of that year's features, including
Batman Begins. The following year, Boone signed for one of the key supporting roles in David Slade's supernatural horror opus
30 Days of Night (2007). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
