Tommy's top five performances?


Tommy is a terrific actor but in which five films (you can include TV series too) do you think he gives his best performances? For me it's the following.

Cobb
Blue Sky
The Fugitive
JFK
Lonesome Dove (TV series)

That's a tough one but I think his absolute best role was as the marshal in The Fugitive. That was an iconic character that he made and after watching the movie, I couldn't imagine anyone else playing that role.

I just researched the TV movie "Broken Vows", in which he plays a priest. it was a decent film, but it left you hanging sometimes.
