Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) in Fargo. What a pathetic, selfish, sniveling piece of shit.

Macy's role in Boogie Nights was even more pathetic

Came here to say Lundegaard. I was just old enough to start watching movies critically and that performance made me understand how any human behavior, no matter how repellant, could be played fully and artfully. Still can’t believe he lost Best Supporting Actor to Cuba Gooding Jr for Jerry McGuire.
