Actor Richard Widmark, who earned an Oscar nomination playing a psychopath in 1947's film noir "Kiss of Death," has died aged 93, the New York Times reported on Wednesday

Widmark, whose long career was marked by playing villains, tough guys and cowboys, died on Monday at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, the Times reported.

Widmark was blond and slightly built during his prime and brought an edgy nervousness to the outcasts and heavies he played in Hollywood's film noir heyday -- a list of roles that The Times once described as a "gallery of reprobates."

Good actor. My favorite of his roles was as the sub captain in The Bedford Incident.

Bowie in The Alamo for me.

[DesertFox]

He often played a guy you'd like to punch in the mouth. He was good in those roles.

[Naturalized-Texan]

He was one of the best movie tough guys ever.

[Lubbock]

He was good. I don't think I ever saw him in a role that I didn't think he was good.

RIP.
