Favorite quirky/fun/wacky characters

Kahkihara or the "twins" from Ichi the Killer.

Twin: "Do you think it's possible for a man to rip an arm off with his bare hands?"

Or maybe Solomon from Gummo.

Solomon: "Xenia, Ohio. A couple of years ago, a tornado hit this place. It killed the people left and right. Houses were split open, and you could see necklaces hanging from branches of trees. Dogs died. Cats died. I saw a girl fly through the sky... and I looked up her skirt."

[Shawn Murphy]

Ahh, yes, Raising Arizona is one of my favorite movies. Funny as hell from start to finish.

How about:

Ash- Bruce Campbell, "Evil Dead 2"

and maybe not fun, but definitely quirky and wacky:

Layne- Crispin Glover, "The River's Edge"

ok, a bit late to the game and I'm also focusing on the freaks, perhaps the psychotic ones:

For Crispin Glover probably in anything he's ever done but for sure let's add 'Rubin and Ed', and he's even wackier in real life!

Gary Oldman in 'Track 29' and in 'Leon/The Professional'*

*Super Trooper already had Leon listed

John Turturro in 'Five Corners' (and quirky in 'O' Brother'!)

Dean Stockwell in 'Blue Velvet'!
