Another fan shared, in-depth, how the man behind Immortan Joe changed the way he watched movies, “For myself & my experience, I can personally say that thru the years that I’ve watched movies, I could probably name only a handful of actors who completely embodied the ‘adversarial evil bad guy.’ Hugh Keays-Byrne became Immortan Joe. He was fabulous & unforgettable. Condolences to his family, friends & fellow actors.”
A Master In His Craft
The Australian actor was always passionate about his roles and extended a friendly, warm composure towards those who had the pleasure of knowing him on and off-screen.
One of Theron’s Twitter followers shared their admiration for his ability to play a vicious character while leading a life full of love, “The greatest monsters are usually played by the sweetest actors. Maybe the empathetic nature of Keays-Byrne (as shown by his charity work) allowed him to find the man within the monster.”
