You forgot the albino actor in "Blade Runner".

BULL.
SHIT.

"Foul Play"

Love whitey from MM&I!

At least he doesn't live in Africa.

Wow M, your partner has had it rough, huh?

My best friend has albinism, as do all his siblings. He hasn't had that experience. I've known him for over twenty years since his pre-teen years, and he has never had things thrown at him. Yes there have been whispers and requests for explanations, but luckily he has been blessed with patience and an amazing personality. I've accompanied him to national and international "Albino-Cons" and have met many incredibly well-adjusted people and their families.

Sad that you don't seem to have the same comfort level with the general populace. Where in the hell do you live?

"What did we do with the wheel barrow the albino had?"
"I think we left it in the woods."
"Then why didn't you list that among our assets?"

M, it sucks that your partner has to go through that. It probably doesn't help that albinos are so often used as evil characters in movies. At least there's Falcor, but maybe it would be better to have more good HUMAN albinos.

How could you possibly forget Dar Robinson as Mokey the albino hitman in Sharky's Machine (1976)?

While not a true albino, The man was a real life stuntman who was thrown out of a Georgia skyscraper firing his gun as he went down. They actually threw him out of the building with a rope tied around his ankle and a pulley system to prevent him from dying horribly. They CGI the heck out of stuff like that now.

He not only should have been on the list, he should have been #1.

@andrebot Plus Dar invented that rig he was wearing to slow his fall to a stop. He, and other stuntmen/women, used it for several films.

Skitz is gonna be DOUBLE furious when he gets to number 1.

As soon as I saw the title of this post, my first thought was, "Skitz is going to kill Dustin!" Poor Dustin, being murdered couldn't happen to a nicer guy. And then I saw number one, and well, it was nice knowing ya.

This is a safe space, people. It's okay to lighten up.

You forgot: EVERY character Gary Busey's kid plays. Deeply creepy. The whiteness ... and so. much. teeth.

Mrs. Julien, a decent portion of Skittimus Maximus's time is devoted to loathing albinos. The remainder of his time is devoted to loathing Gummo and everything about it.

If the adaptors hadn't fucked up "The Relic" Agent Pendergast would be on this list. On the other hand, I think I heard once that one of the early scripts changed his ethnicity from "hyper-pale Louisiana French" to "standard African-American", so there you go.

Oh man, I'm sorry if I made anyone feel bad. I really don't want to seem like I'm being hectoring or guilting or self-pitying (or partner-pitying, as it were). And I don't want anyone to feel bad about having enjoyed this list. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being amused by these characters or movies or anything! I just meant to say that, you know, it sucks when someone is called "an albino," as if they are a different class of human and not a person with a particular genetic trait; it's like when people talk about "the gays" or "the blacks" as if they're a monolithic hive-mind creature, not individual folks. And it sucks when all the people with albinism that we see are treated like freaks (the evil albino characters from the end of 10,000 BC are another example). And it sucks when people forget that these images are associated with real people. And it would be great to see those issues raised in a space like this one.

I like a lot of these movies (Falkor has a pretty great spot in my heart) and I have no problem with the idea behind this list; I just think that, if a list like this is going to be made, it calls for a little more information or analysis, a little depth, and not for a "list presented with no comment or context" presentation. Which I say because this site and the writers have shown me time and again that they can create that kind of nuanced, rich analysis and I'd love some of it thrown my way. I'm selfish like that.

Krix , my partner is delightful, well-adjusted, and super happy. We have a great life and have lived all over the West Coast where (as is true everywhere) some people are lovely and some people are jerks.

I hope I didn't imply that my partner's albinism has doomed him to a life of horrors and tribulation; it hasn't and he lives relatively unhindered by rudeness, sunscreen, and thick eyeglasses. I hope I did imply, however, that the small amounts of attention paid to this condition and community is perhaps related to the large amount of stares and confused reactions we get in public. And to the feelings of "loathing" that some readers have towards "albinos": I am not saying this to call anyone out, but I think it's important to make gentle mention of that fact that if you say you loath all people with a certain kind of trait, you're treading on dangerous ethical ground; we're talking about real people here, folks, even if there aren't that many of them.

Lot to choose from, where there?

Missing Mr. Joshua in Lethal Weapon.

You should have made Luke Goss in Blade II tied with Luke Goss in Hellboy II.

Nomak and Nuada were pretty much the same character, soo...
