I loved his more cinema leaning roles. But...Lex Luthor? Amazing. Avery Tolar? So under rated. Even in his more "popcorn" roles, he was always a highlight.

Nobody is mentioning Uncommon Valor, and I guess for good reason.

Uncommon Valor

Plus Absolute Power, Reds, Antz… he was great in pretty much everything he did. I liked him in Enemy of the State.

Every time someone lists some of his films I see another that I had forgotten he was in. Most actors would be thrilled to have a fraction of his filmography.

He was great in Mississippi Burning and Behind Enemy Lines.

Behind Enemy Lines

Just watched The Royal Tenenbaums again. What a performance!
Q: Why are you shooting at me?
A: Why not?
Q: Because we’re on the same team, it’s against the rules.
A: There are no rules.
