But lately I think he's been on a roll - his acting in Adaptation was exquisite, and those roles were fitting of his fidgety restlessness. He's a fine actor, but I think much of the time he is "acting" instead of <i>living</i> the part of the character, if you know what I mean. Some actors wear their roles like clothing, and some chew it up and swallow it to make it a part of their being for the time they're making the movie. I see him more "wearing" than not. But I know plenty of people who prefer him this way, so it's just a matter of opinion. I don't doubt his skills, I just don't particularly enjoy him most of the time because of how he chooses to use them. 18688@blogcritics.org Sun, 14 Sep 2003 01:15:32 EDT
