I also remember him as the bad guy in the original Conan the Barbarian with Arnold. Had a great guest spot on the BBT too, genuinely funny bit with Carrie Fisher there.

You'd think I'd put up a Darth Vader speech, but this is his greatest speech of all time.
<Field of Dreams "People will come" speech>
RIP
As powerful as that "People will come" speech is, it's the little pauses and chuckles and things like that elsewhere in his performance that make it seem so believable to me. He could be incredibly funny, to me, with just subtle little well-timed giggles. Scenes like this, where he needs to explain to his father why he'd left Boston and been out of contact for so long:
That innocent little chuckle at the end, as he says "What do I tell him?", is hilarious to me.
Similar to this brief moment from The Hunt for Red October (where, for context, Alec Baldwin's character 'Jack Ryan' was told by Jones's character in a little pep talk beforehand "Look, no one understands this material better than you. Just give him a run-down on the sub and appraisal of the stuff [files] in your hand. He's liable to ask some direct questions: give him direct answers. Tell him what you think," and Jack ends up very forcefully taking over the dialogue, states the seemingly wild opinion that the crew of a Soviet submarine want to defect to the US, and bites the head off a top-ranking general):
He had great comedic timing:
"I'm gonna beat you with a crowbar until you go away."
"Oh... a dog and a beer."
