Another familiar face from our childhoods, Peter Greene, has unfortunately passed away.

Not only did he play perverted serial killer rapist from Pulp Fiction and a scheming Mafia underboss from The Mask (both in a busy, successful 1994) he also soon after played notable supporting roles as creeps in The Usual Suspects and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.

He was only 60 years old:

Peter Greene Dies: 'Pulp Fiction' & 'The Mask' Actor Was 60

Peter Greene, a character actor known for playing bad guys in such movies as Pulp Fiction and The Mask, has passed away at the age of 60. He was found dead Friday, Dec. 12, in his Manhattan apartment, Greene's manager Gregg Edwards confirmed to Deadline. The cause of death is unknown at this time.

Born on Oct. 8, 1965 in Montclair, New Jersey, Greene made his screen acting debut in an episode of the short-lived 1990 NBC crime drama series Hardball and his feature debut in the 1992 film Laws of Gravity, in which he starred opposite Edie Falco.

It was a fast rise from there. In 1993, Greene headlined the film Clean, Shaven, which screened at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival. In 1994, he was in two big movies. He played a villain, Zed, in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, which won the Palme d'Or at that year's Cannes Film Festival, and the main antagonist, Dorian Tyrell, opposite Jim Carrey in The Mask.

Always very watchable. Shame he seemed to have disappeared off our screens for such a long time but an even greater shame to lose him at a fairly young age.

He struggled with serious drug addiction through the 90s and 00s, and got busted for possession in '07 (which partly explains why his B-list movie career playing heavies kinda petered out relatively quickly by the turn of the Millennia).
