Max von Sydow as Leland Gaunt
in Needful Things (1993) |
In the 1993 movie "Needful Things," Leland Gaunt (Max Von Sydow) proves to be something far more dangerous than the shop owner he claims to be when he arrives in the Maine town of Castle Rock, which isn't surprising due to it being based on a Stephen King tale. What's surprising is that Gaunt claims to be an Ohioan, despite his obvious European (Swedish) accent. Brian Rusk (Shane Meier), a kid who meets Gaunt early in the movie, wonders and asks about his background:
BRIAN: Are you from overseas somewhere?
GAUNT: I'm from Akron.
BRIAN: Where's that? England?
GAUNT: That's in Ohio.

| Ray Wise as Satan in Reaper |
Ray Wise, who may be best known as Leland Palmer, Laura Palmer's father, in the iconic
Twin Peaks, also gave a chilling and comical portrayal of Satan in one of my favorite series,
Reaper. Wise is from
Akron, Ohio.
