He must REALLY be wanting to shed his good boy image with playing this part.

Yeah, he did a really good job but at the same time that he scared me i'm thinking, "Dawson...why?" But I know he's an actor and he doesn't want to be Dawson forever. But he did really good playing this guy.

I noticed that his nose looked like it may have been broken. Was that for the role or did he really break it before?

Did anyone watch when he was on "Medium?" That was creepy!

i agree...i'm watching the movie right now on lifetime.

Agree.He was pretty damn good. I didn't recognize him at first so I was a bit shocked to find out it was him.

I have to say that Sara Canning was brilliant as well. Levar Burton gave a pretty cliched performance in my opinion..

I have a really hard time seeing actors that I like playing evil people.

But yes, he did a good job.

yeah when he was playing with the locks in the car. up. down. up. down. i was scared. of eating at the place he did b/c it's clear he had a bad carne asada. too much grill. not enough skill.

James Van Der Beek gave a real chilling and credible performance as the unstable and dangerous Tony Zappa.

I am a half hour in (watching while on the computer so not fully paying attention) and just realized it's him. He is doing an outstanding job, I am very impressed.
