As befits an actor whose imposing size and signature mustache finds him often typecast as a bad guy, before he got into acting M.C. Gainey studied to be an undertaker. He rarely gets to play the lead, but M.C. has appeared in over fifty movies in his now four-decade long career, from the 1981 Steve Martin musical Pennies from Heaven to Quentin Tarantino's blood-soaked spaghetti "Southern" Django Unchained (2012). M.C. often plays convicts, bikers, crooked cops, and other heavies on film, but in Alexander Payne's Sideways (2004) he shows his vulnerable side...by which we mean he runs across a parking lot with his dipstick flapping in the breeze. That M.C. Flesh-er is a work of art!
