Frank Whaley Doesn't Get The Props He Deserves
Everyone on this board seemingly talks only of how hot Jennifer Connelly is (agreed) or how terrible the film is in general. No, it's not a great film. But I love Frank Whaley's character in it. I got the impression Whaley was largely playing himself. We would see him play a similar small but memorable role in "Curb Your Enthusiasm" as Peter Hagen, a thief and con man with a long list of hilarious aliases. He also played a particularly loathsome criminal in an episode of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent". And let's not forget his character Guy in the dark Hollywood satire "Swimming With Sharks". All great work. But I don't think Whaley has received the proper respect, and certainly not on the "Career Opportunities" thread. Maybe he's take him or leave him, I dunno, cuz I'd take him if I were a film director. I hope he continues to find work.
