SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 10 The Devil’s Advocate The Devil’s Advocate is best known for Al Pacino’s turn as John Milton, who is revealed to be the literal Satan at the movie’s climax. Nelson also does an excellent job playing the evil billionaire client who Keanu Reeve’s character, Kevin Lomax, must defend. The film is about a young lawyer who is urged by a mysterious mentor to throw morals to the wind in order to gain more power and prestige.
7 The Killing Fields Nelson has a small but significant role in the Academy Award-winning The Killing Fields. This biographical drama about the Khmer Rouge depicts real-life reporters Sydney Schanberg , Dith Pran , and Al Rockoff as they report on the Cambodian Civil War. The film won three Academy Awards and has a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Nelson appears briefly as Major Reeves and his callous and jocular attitude towards the U.S. role in the conflict sets up the succeeding horror.
