!!This actor provides examples of:
* AxCrazy: Most of his villainous roles tend to be this to varying degrees.
* BeautyInversion: A downplayed example, but he's often been made to look uglier in roles than he actually is (most notably with Chop Top).
* BlackComedy: Many of the villains he's played over the years. Terrifying? You bet. Hilarious? ''Absolutely''.
* ChewingTheScenery: ''Oh yes''. And audiences ''love him'' for it.
* LargeHam: Not always, but his most famous roles all contain a healthy dose of this.
* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Despite many of the characters he's played over the years, he's known for being one of the nicest, friendliest guys you'll ever meet.
* NoIndoorVoice: He's easily one of the shoutiest guys in horror.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Just by looking at him, you'd never know that the guy is nearly ''seventy''.
* {{Typecasting}}: And proudly so. Bill loves horror movies, and regards playing villains as ridiculously fun. He has played more heroic and normal characters, but it's clear that he really has the time of his life as an unhinged bad guy.

!!Works containing Bill Mosely:

Bill Moseley (born November 11, 1951) is an American film actor and musician who has starred in a number of cult classic horror films, including ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1990'', ''Film/HouseOf1000Corpses'', ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'' and ''Film/TheDevilsRejects''. His first big role was in ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre2'' as Chop Top. On the HBO TV series ''{{Series/Carnivale}}'', Moseley had a recurring role as camp cook Possum. He has also released records with guitarist {{Music/Buckethead}} in the band Cornbugs, as well as featuring on the guitarist's solo work.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Just by looking at him, you'd never know that the guy is nearly ''seventy''.

* {{Typecasting}}: And proudly so. Bill loves horror movies, and regards playing villains as ridiculously fun. He has played more heroic and normal characters, but it's clear that he really has the time of his life as an unhinged bad guy.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Some of his characters, most notably Otis Driftwood and Luigi Largo, have attracted surprisingly large female followings.

* AwesomeDearBoy: His rationale for many of the roles he's taken over the years. Moseley ''loves'' what he does, and has jumped at many roles simply because he thought the character would be a ton of fun to play, or because he wanted to work with someone involved in the production.

* MethodActing: Has done this on occasion, most famously with Otis during the filming of ''Film/TheDevilsRejects'', who Bill embodied to the point that he actively ''stopped showering'' for days, and continued acting like Otis at home. His family were apparently not amused.
