Timothy Carey in The Killing (1956)

[@DenkyManner]

Just finished this film and instantly I'm researching Carey. What a fantastic performance. So compelling, so far ahead of its time. It's like he's travelled back from the 70s. I have to learn about him!

[@MsVorpalBlade]

I just found him in "Finger Man" (1955) - he plays the boss gangster's chief thug and steals every scene he's in. Compelling is the word for him alright

[@josephsummer777]

The world’s greatest sinner , his film.

[@MerkinMuffly]

Timothy Carey is a cross between John Turturro and that wood-chipper dude from Fargo.

[@smichelle65]

...with a sprinkling of Nicolas Cage.

[@brucekugler5164]

T,he wood chipper guy is who her looked a little like, with a Gomer Pyle mouth.

[@gnalkhere]

Peter Stormare

[@ldfreitas9437]

I would agree. If some film is made about him, Turturro should have the part. Carey was Irish and Italian, but it's the Italian that really shows through.

[@trinab9612]

Sorry I know is an old but it is hilarious

[@serotta2]

Great scene from great film. Carey was a strikingly original actor. Once seen, never forgotten. I like what IMDB has: "Timothy Carey had one of the most unusual careers of all Hollywood character actors, obtaining full cult status for his portrayals of the doomed, the psychotic and the plain crazy. Carey's career was an "Only in America" type of story, and he retains his status as a Great American Original a decade after his death..."

[@ldfreitas9437]

One of my favorite Noirs. Tim Carey rocks. What a lunatic.

[@mayerbasic7004]

Just watched The Killing for the first time. Great performances all around, but Timothy Carey was the one that really levelled me. Its a shame the guy was such a wild card and burned his bridges because he was immensely talented.

[@ulyssesflynn]

That horseshoe somehow puncturing the tire is one of the funniest scenes, along with the ending with the poodle of course, and that parrot miraculously learning to say “ain’t fair, ain’t fair” after hearing Sherry say it just one time right before George killed her lol

[@davidrobinson9043]

James Edwards! Another Great Actor who deserved better!

[@666kinski]

He had a fairly active career but died way too early in life.

[@edeck889]

+David Robinson He was supposed to have been the original Sidney Poitier, actually old Hollywood legend has it that Sidney Poitier replaced Edwards, when he (James Edwards) refused to testify against actor, activist Paul Robeson during the HUAC hearings that caused many actors, producers, directors and other film employees to be Black listed from working in Hollywood

[@icarus8471]

I love Carey's line delivery. It is very distinct.

[@SuperWidemouth]

Carey sure had something special. He was also in Kubrick's Paths of Glory in '57. You can't ask, demand, or force someone to act like this. Maybe Dennis Hopper could do performances like this, but few others.

[@DanielTheWalrus]

Poor black guard. He thought he was making a friend... :(

[@faisall6364]

lol

[@blazingbleezy668]

And in the end it came back and bit him in the Ass

[@kenny808kine8]

....and that's literally how the world is. Love this film, even this scene, just the realism.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

He went from brusque, to being a little unnaturally friendly, and then Carey's character is rude to him to get rid of him.

[@Gravelgratious]

He found his target fast though!

[@HYPNOTICVIDEO]

That was a brutal exchange.

[@tambocha]

He was great in The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, too.

[@ldfreitas9437]

The Killing is one of the most bizarre Film Noir ever made. Tim Carey was perfect in this part, as a nut job. I have to wonder if Nicholson studied him much. Anyway, he didn't get arrested for shooting a horse out of season.

[@snolan1990]

You really can't take your eyes off him in this.

[@jackgrattan1447]

I wish that you put in the earlier scene where Tim talks hepcat lingo to Sterling Hayden. "Crazy, Pops".

[@zooyawk4526]

Growing up in Bay ridge Brooklyn where almost everyone was tough gave him the edge as a movie tough. He really was one of the first Hollywood troublemakers. He was difficult to work with, and even faked his own kidnapping during the filming of kobricks Paths of Glory. Kind of a loose cannon I would say. But never the rest wonderful two watche his work.

[@LanDred1]

I felt sorry for the guard

[@trinab9612]

Great movie. The look on Hayden’s face when that case full of money falls open is priceless

[@corazonmanosypies2]

5:23 Timothy's scene forever at the Sgt peppers cover art album.

[@voiskumbeaver3285]

Ricky Baez Shame he's obscured by George Harrison on the used take

[@snortworld]

he was imitating kirk douglas, blatantly. i love it

[@wheezvonklaw284]

Well, Douglas did try to kill him on the set of Paths of Glory"

[@MrRichiekaye]

Rodney Dangerfield plays in extra in this film -- looking on with other extras during the fight scene near the betting windows.

[@TerryUniGeezerPeterson]

almost looks like Kirk Douglas in closeups: "I'll give you a yell"

[@beatshack]

wow cool.. i really need to watch some more old (classic) movies.

[@chaddonschaddons7084]

when I saw the horseshoe I ROFLED so hard hahahaa

[@kennygopal]

timothy the greatest crook actor, hope you can put more of him on youtube

[@PhillipBell]

"Red Lightening." Yowza, that evil smile! Frightened just to look at the smile.

[@ehcyrsneeuq]

MASTERPIECE 💕 my favorite KUBRICK 💕

[@ldfreitas9437]

Great movie with an ending that had me and my friends rolling on the floor. I have to think that anyone in the theaters back in the 50s who saw it were laughing too. I mean, it was totally unexpected. The crooks were about to get away with it.

[@Tom-V]

Interesting seeing Timothy Carey in something other than Paths of Glory.

[@PuddingAtheist]

where's the first scene when he said "Pops"?

[@1traviata]

That Timothy Carey grimace is unparalled. An effing gorgeous person. RIP

[@KingfisherLtd]

John Lurie reminds me Tim Carey.

[@jettrink7510]

Long live 1961 California forever...

[@claudiocorleone7856]

‘ if I need anything I’ll give you a yell’ lol!

[@draganbanic5381]

So he shoots in broad daylight,open top car and cars all around him and not even a silencer on the rifle.

[@maroanouadi9782]

And shooting a man on the back for killing a horse, was way too much.

[@Ramblin-Man]

Timothy Carey 87 today, March 11, 2016.

paraplegic but can work the gas and clutch with no problem..hmmm

[@superturbocharged]

Looking for denny's commercial him him as frankensreins monster

[@WintersWar]

that security guard was a ball breaker. showing up like 3 times, doing him in the 3rd time.

[@alexthompson9516]

Yessir

[@pabloperez4063]

No reason to shoot him by the back for having shot a horse

[@ldfreitas9437]

@@pabloperez4063 Well, this is in the 50s. Shoot first and ask questions later.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

Was it the same security guard though? The one who fires wears a cap, and it didn't sound like the voice of the James Edwards character. It also looked like a white guy although he is quite a distance from the camera and it is hard to be sure.

[@WintersWar]

@@stevekaczynski3793 you're correct, never noticed that was another character. Actually I should have said he was a parking attendant, the 2nd guy was the guard.
