He doesn't have a broad range but he's the poster child for showy.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Joe may be on to something here.
No credit for one of the greatest scenes in cinema history??? I WANT THE TRUTH!
He’s great in this, but the verbose, articulate, and passionate delivery of his lines is no different than Ethan Hunt or American Made guy or Jerry Maguire.
Be careful here trag. We don’t want to have to code red you.

We're obviously defining it differently

Are we defining greatness by someone who is more of a character actor or a guy like tom Cruise who can just steal a scene by his confidence and professionalism?

Can be both, sure. Are you generally drawn to the likes of a Willem Dafoe/Jared leto/Christian Bale or does a guy like Tom Cruise deserve just as much accolades as some of the more eccentric actors who inhabit a role to the detriment of their own well being?

That’s what I’ve been doing also. I think some haven’t picked up that we’re doing this.

Why are you being weird?

Also, do you think I could be a good actor?
