He plays same character alot? Flight and in The Place Beyond the Pine

and in "The Sweet Hereafter" he gets pissed off with the guy who plays similar role (Ian Holm)

It's tough to get good roles in Hollywood. Mostly because there are so few. If your not Tom Hanks or Leo you take what you can get, make the best out of it and pay the bills.

Sometimes it's just right time, right place, right role. i believe playing commander Pike in such a great way that he did should open bigger, better roles for Bruce.
