Jude Law as Harlen Maguire in Road to Perdition (2002)

From IMDB:

To create a villain that could challenge the physically imposing Tom Hanks, director Sam Mendes wanted Jude Law to seem rodent-like.

Maguire’s crime scene photography work is based on Arthur “Weegee” Fellig, a famous crime scene photographer in the 1920s and 1930s, who was licensed to possess a “scanner” radio that allowed him to listen to frequencies used by the police and fire departments. This enabled him to arrive (by car) at crime and fire scenes, sometimes before the authorities did, as if informed by telepathic powers, to which his nickname, a corruption of “Ouija”, alludes. He sold his photos to tabloid newspapers. The photos in Maguire’s apartment are real 1930s crime scene photos, some of which were taken by “Weegee”.

Jude Law hated his appearance for the film, and insisted on wearing a cap every time he wasn’t on camera. Sam Mendes insisted that Law also remain paler than all of his co-stars.

“On the train coming here… we were in the same car. You were reading and you fell asleep. I didn’t dare look at you, you were so beautiful. It was scary.”
