Prone to overacting

He was undoubtedly a very talented actor, but there was often a flamboyance and overly mannered quality to his performances. I don’t know, it sometimes felt indulgent, like what’s with the bent elbow limp wrist thing he’s doing in that scene in The Talented Mr Ripley?

Ironically the my favourite role of his was Owen Davian in Mission Impossible III. It’s both understated and absolutely chilling - one of the best action movie villains ever.
