"With Bo. there's kind of a dynamic of not knowing what the hell to do." says Lindo. He wants to move into legitimate business like movie producing and he fronts drug money for Gene Hackman to make a movie. "Get Shorty" is a quirky movie breaking, but Lindo approached i' from an unemotional point of view. "My take on that didn't have anything to do with violence," he says. "A father is disciplining his son because he stepped out of line. Rodney uses all the tools at his dis- Dallas Morning News When Delroy Lindo gets mad on screen, people stop in their tracks. Maybe it's his voice. When he played a father in Spike Lee's 1994 drama "Crooklyn," one boom from his deep baritone would make his kids cower. Or maybe it's because he's and when he leans forward, narrows his eyes and furrows his as he does already creased brow often in Lee's adaptation of Richard Price's "dockers" you know he means business. Whatever the aura, it commands attention even more as the Oscar buzz builds around Lin-do- 's portrayal of Rodney Little, spi-rali- posal." "I hope that part of the success of my playing this role is that w hat I've been able to bring to it will distinguish it in some way," he says. "And hope that people responding to that don't say, 'He plays bad guys really well,' but that 'this guy's a good actor.'" Lindo knows the Oscar talk means people are watching him closely, and he's careful about his words, especially in describing the differences between his screen roles. The majority of the characters he's played have not been criminals, despite the fame he gained playing bad dude West Indian Archie in Lee's "Malcolm X" and the fact that he will play a drug dealer again in October's "Get Shorty." "dockers'" searing drug lord, ho attracts legions of young boys into his service with his fatherlike presence but is a cold businessman at heart. Take the scene where Rodney drives by to pick up his protege Strike (Mekhi Phifer), beats him and then sticks a gun in his mouth and threatens to kill him. Everything in Lindo's tightly drawn face says Rodney would pull the trigger in a second.

"The Hard Way" (1991) and "Mountains on the Moon" ( 990). 1 Although he's proved himself as a menacing criminal, Lindo is concerned about being typecast. (He won't even reveal his age.) "Let me put it like this," he says politely, "I don't want to sound naive.

The challenge of the story was making Rodney more than just a bad guy. and he played the part as a kind of Fagin of Brooklyn, who sets his "favorite son" up on a killing mission and stops at nothing to discipline him when he fails. Tony-winnin- Jodie Foster was already at Yale. It wasn't a new experience to have a Hollywood star on the campus." After college, she got a smali part with Gene Hackman in "Split Decision," but little came of it. She thought her role in "Vampire's Kiss" with Nicolas Cage would be better. "I was all ready to play this naturalistic vampire and then Nicolas comes in. and in one scene, holds a gun to his ead. fires it. and goes 'Boo-Hoo- " to the camera. After that. I knew it was going to be a or, at least, offbeat. We comedy were all encouiaged to improvise. Nicolas Cage is totally fearless. He's a high diver, and doesn't even ask if there's any w ater in the pool. He doesn't care what anyone thinks of him." The Lindo joined the 40 Acres and a Mule club with "Malcolm X." He has also had roles in "Jones" with an impressive cast, but Lindo still manages to stick out. He even matches Travolta in slickness. In one scene, sitting back at a big desk reading a script, he looks more like Samuel Goldwyn than Al Capone. But Lindo is anything but Hollywood. He studied drama at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco and afterward chose New York instead of Los Angeles. "I'm an East Coast guy." he says from his home in New Jersey, where he lives with his wife. Repertory theater and stage roles ranging from "Othello" to "A Raisin in the Sun" helped him develop the presence that commands such attention on the big screen. It was his g work in Joe Turner's "Come and Gone" that got Lee interested. "Spike 1 w uses the actors he respects. result is a kind of loose repertory situation. It's ircredibly affirming to have someone like him continually coming to me with work. God bless Spike for that." iu ScBaift) Iterate K TnMJ tVr mwuK n mi puNh tfttwl pUo hiipV' ' Ittrtkah pt. .
