Norman Bates
Norman Bates as portrayed by Anthony Perkins in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece "Psycho."
I love everything about this film, from Saul Bass' opening credits, to the last note of Bernard Herrmann's score.
I was lucky enough to see "Psycho" spoiler free. When I was in junior high I went to stay the weekend with my sister at college. And we went to see a double feature with a bunch of her friends. The two movies in question were David Lynch's "Eraserhead" and Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho." That night of movie going had a profound impact on my young mind that was second only to the first time I saw the original "Star Wars."
On a side note, one interesting piece of trivia I learned while researching this portrait: "Psycho" was the first film to show a toilet being flushed onscreen.

Your best one yet. You captured something beyond a simple likeness with this one. If it didn't creep me out so much I'd set it as the background for my desktop.
Amazing likeness, down to the mad twinkle in his eye.
