Scene Stealer Spotlight: David Rasche

Never trust a man who talks to his gun.

David Rasche kicked off his career playing a Dirty Harry-styled cop in “Sledge Hammer!” When he wasn’t firing his beloved .44 Magnum indiscriminately at the bad guys, he was talking to it like an old friend.

These days, he’s more likely to be seen swiping scenes from his co-workers.

Rasche did just that in two bureaucratic bungle pics over the last year. First, he gobbled down some snarky dialogue in “Burn After Reading,” the Coen brothers’ underrated DC dramedy.

This summer, he got big laughs during “In the Loop,” the British war satire.

Rasche’s career has been uneven to say the least. But lately filmmakers have learned what a valuable asset Rasche can be in the righ project.

Sledge would be proud.
