I first saw him in Alpha Dog

I'm playing catch up with movies from years back and sorely disappointed in the unoriginal movie themes and Hollywood's assembly line, predictable lines of crap...Anyways I hadn't any idea it was based on true story otherwise I may not have watched it and that would have been bad. He's very rare in today's actor scene because no matter what role he's played IT'S believable and just fantastic. I'd relate him to Tom Hanks ONLY in the sense where no matter where he's placed and for whatever type of movie genre it is, he's not remembered as the actor from the previous movie. Great energy and believable. Very rare indeed.
