Hey Guys-
I am super psyched that Ben Foster is going to be in a new movie and so far he's the first one cast. Hopefully he plays a lead!

He's a brilliant actor. Every movie he's been in lately has added so much to the movie, even when it's a smaller character. X-Men, 3:10 To Yuma, 30 Days of Night...he's awesome in all of them. Has anyone seen Bang Bang You're Dead? That's where I first saw him. He was fantastic in that.

Glad to see this guy finally got his star vehicle. Dude has been blowing everybody off the screen the last couple years in great films and getting overlooked. Look for him to be on everybody's lists in 08.

JUST finished watching 'Six Feel Under' for the first time (took about one month of two episodes a night). He played Russell (Claire's art school boyfriend who slept with their teacher), and I thought he was one of the best side-characters of the show! This is the first time I've 'paid attention' to his acting, but having seen his IMDb sheet I'm now aware I'd seen him before (e.g., Angel in 'X-Men 3').

Indeed, he has the 'chops' to make it big, and he looks like he is on that course now! In fact, it is much better that it is taking time for him to become a major acting force in Hollywood, since the more diverse the roles BEFORE the 'big' one that gets everyone's attention hits, so there will less chance of stereotyping him. Often a great actor will do a great job in a high profile role, only to result in everyone (meaning producers) wanting him to do the exact same thing in THEIR movie.

Personally, he reminds me both visually and in some cases acting style of a young Brad Dourif! As coincidence would have it, Brad Dourif's daughter (Fiona) is also in this movie (Messenger)!

Lester - It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.

I saw the film last night. Ben is spectacular. He was at the screening along with Woody Harrelson. The film itself is a stunning and emotionally intense. I advise anyone reading to see it when they can.
