Harvey Keitel has spent most of the last half century playing rough, heavy-duty roles, mainly in arthouse cinema. His most famous ones are Martin Scorsese movies, but there have been others. One that's worth seeing is Anthony Drazan's "Imaginary Crimes". Keitel plays a man in 1962 Portland who resorts to con jobs and get-rich-quick schemes to provide for his daughters.
I understand that Sheila Ballantyne's novel, on which the movie is based, is semi-autobiographical. I haven't read it, but the movie makes the Pacific Northwest of the '50s and '60s look like a dismal place. Either way, the cast all puts on fine performances. Aside from Keitel, the cast includes Kelly Lynch, Fairuza Balk and Elisabeth Moss (having never heard of her before "The Handmaid's Tale", I didn't know that she was a child star).
