Lee Van Cleef (January 9 1925 - December 16 1989) was a movie actor, who appeared mostly in Western and action pictures. His sharp features and piercing eyes made him an ideal "bad guy". However, Van Cleef occasionally played heroes.

He appeared with Clint Eastwood in For a Few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Van Cleef also appeared in John Carpenter's cult hit Escape from New York. He also appeared as a villainous swindler in the Bonanza episode, The Bloodline (December 31, 1960).
