10 Extremely Brief Movie Characters Who Totally Deserve Spin-Offs

5. The Long Good Friday - 1st Irishman

wdwd Before he was famous for being the hairiest James Bond ever, his crazy pain face (YouTube it) and his €˜Maybe you SHOULD€™NT BE LIVING HEEERRRREEEEE€™ line (again, YouTube...), Pierce Brosnan's debut was as an IRA hit man who didn't utter a single line in The Long Good Friday. Without speaking a solitary word, he still manages to get the better of the biggest East End Cockney criminal king pin. He only appears twice in the movie; Acting as if he is gay to kill a man in a swimming pool shower and pointing a gun at Bob Hoskins who is being driven away to certain death. His impact on driving the plot forward and being a totally memorable screen presence is something that huge to this film, and he is very deserving of his own spin off movie. IRA films always peak interest due to the controversial subject of terrorism, and Brosnan could easily be effective as the silent assassin who kills for money and honour It would be worth it just to see him attempt to tackle a Northern Irish accent. He can€™t even tackle an Irish one (attempted in the film €˜Evelyn€™) and the man is FROM the Emerald Isle€Hopefully he would be kept mute.
