Frank Wheatley Sling Blade [portable]

Frank Wheatley isn’t the villain of Sling Blade , but he might be the most painfully human character. As the closeted, lonely supermarket manager who befriends Karl Childers, Frank’s quiet kindness is overshadowed by his desperation and fear. When he makes a pass at Karl—then violently rejects him out of shame—we witness one of the film’s most heartbreaking moments.
