I read that Stanley Tucci had a difficult time playing the role of Mr. Harvey and almost turned it down. He has great difficulty with anything having to do with hurting children. So, he wanted to make himself as unrecognizable as possible just to separate himself from Mr. Harvey...hence the false teeth to make his lower jaw seem larger, and the hair, eye color and glasses were all different as well.
I think he did a fantastic job in the film!
"Ain't life grand!"
This is kind of funny in a roundabout way. Some people mistakenly thought that Stanley Tucci played the hitman in "Revolver" but it was actually actor Mark Strong. The hitman in Revolver winds up objecting to a hit since a child may have been hurt.
I agree that Tucci did a spectacular job here. Be sure to catch him in "Big Night" if that movie has failed to show up on your watch list.
Yeah, it's funny how some actors have certain boundaries as to what they will and will not do. Even though it's just acting, they choose not to take part in it because it's too disturbing for them. I can understand how they feel about things like that. I think I would find it quite difficult to act like I was harming or killing a child or animal...I honestly don't think I could do it.
I'll check out both films you mentioned if I run across them.

"I think I would find it quite difficult to act like I was harming or killing a child or animal...I honestly don't think I could do it."
But who gives a crap about adults, old people, and teenagers, right? :D i mean you'll kill 'em in a heartbeat for some cash and an oscar
Tucci was great! I truly loved watching him die too!?
shareI read this too and I think even more of him for his insistence in not exploiting the crime or the actress. My thoughts were that he portrayed such a heinous character for the greater good. It is hard to convince teens as to why they must be careful about who they trust. To educate law enforcement. Even the victim's families so that these crimes can be solved. Sadly, the criminal was tipped off because the evidence wasn't retrieved right. We have to learn from other people's mistakes. How to trust our instincts.
So much can be learned from just what we saw in this movie.
I do understand the author's feelings that the crime might lose it's impact if you spare the audience the real horror of this kind of crime. It was wise of her to trust Mr. Jackson's reason for not doing that. It plays too much into the hands of sex offenders who go to great lengths to find this sort of abuse. They do not see this kind of abuse as most of us do.
I know I didn't need to see it go any further. My nightmares are bad enough. I cried enough through this movie. Even the torture scenes in V for Vendetta made me so upset I could barely prevent myself from crying out loud in the theater at the time.
What we saw. How the tension was built up. Was effective enough. Those bodies. It was enough.
Watching it now. He is so creepy, I can't get his image out of my head. Sooooo perfect in this role.
shareI believe he was nominated for an Oscar for this role but was glad when he lost because the character was so abhorrent
shareThe only other movie I saw him in was the Devil wears Prada and thought he was just a ''basic'' actor. Then the Lovely Bones came out and I was just spellbound by his performance. I hadn't a clue he was so talented.
shareIf you saw The Pelican Brief you saw him in that.
SPOILER ALERT FOR THE PELICAN BRIEF
He was the killer that shot the one guy in his hotel room and he was the guy in the red (?) baseball cap (with gun hidden under his shirt) walking with Darby Shaw (Julia Roberts) and he himself was shot in the head before he got to shoot Darby.
