| 45 | !!Tropes associated with Miguel Ferrer: |
| 46 | * TheCharacterDiedWithHim: [[Series/NCISLosAngeles Owen Granger]]. |
| 47 | * FaceOfAThug: There was a reason he mostly played villains. |
| 48 | * HostilityOnTheSet: Along with Creator/PaulVerhoeven and co-star Creator/KurtwoodSmith (Clarence Boddicker), Ferrer was annoyed by Creator/PeterWeller's attempt at MethodActing during the first few weeks on ''Film/RoboCop1987'' (insisting that he be called "Murphy" or "Robo", depending on the scene, while on set). Unlike Verhoeven (who told Weller he found it silly and simply refused to do it) and Smith (who just chose to ignore Weller during that time), Ferrer voiced his contempt for the idea by actively defying it and calling Weller by his real name, anyway. |
| 49 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He was pretty much a dead ringer for his father, Jose Ferrer. |
| 50 | * PlayingAgainstType: Despite mostly playing villains, he did also play good guys. An example of this are his guest roles in ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'', where his first two roles, Weather Wizard and De'Cine, were the villains of their respective episodes, yet his last one, "A Fish Story", had him play Aquaman. |
| 51 | * TypeCasting: A lot of his roles were villains and scumbags to varying degrees. |
| 52 | * {{Tuckerization}}: As noted, the lead character of ''ComicBook/SpiderMan2099'' was named after him. |
