...is one of my favourite actors to date. Top class performances in all his movies I've seen. Gotta love the scene where he breaks down while eating his Polish girlfriend's eggs .. lol

His performances seem effortless. I mean that in a good sense.

I have to agree. In his movies he simply seems to do the right thing and doesn't look like his is putting in a lot of effort.

This movie is so much better because of him. If you imagine most other actors in his role the movie just wouldn't be the same.

DARN IT. The actor I'd look forward to see take on any roll....

Are you saying he could take on any roll bc he was a little overweight?!?!

probably one of my best scenes in cinema of all time. really, if you give yourself to the scene, youre gonna see that this is such a genuine feelig that he express, that you almost wanna hug him in the instant. that scene is art. i cried like a baby. also, i would suggest his other crying scene in "before the devil knows youre dead". that guy was a genius.
