 rom the outset, the animators wanted to make the
villian of "Oliver & Company" rather out of the ordinary. They
needed to portray somebody who could be brutally threatening and
yet not just a thug, sinister and yet very powerfully physical --
neither a sly Ratigan nor a brute McLeach, but possessing some
characteristics of both.

The result: a solid, powerful man who is seen mostly in the
shadows. He became much more intimidating when not seen in the
light. His big, meaty hands show power, yet they are also dexterous
and delicate. In fact, his hobby is building miniature models of
his car.
A good perspective on Sykes' persona can be derived from a
glance at the screen career of Robert Loggia, Sykes' voice artist.
A classic screen heavy with a gravelly and powerful voice, Loggia
is intimidating ("Prizzi's Honor," "Scarface") yet adroit at the
same time ("Big").
