This kid deserves an Oscar!


Giovanni Ribisi is one of the most talented and versatile actors of our generation. Every performance I've watched him give has been unarguably stellar, and he just continues to grow and change and blossom as an actor. He has several Oscar-worthy performances under his belt. It's about time this kid got the recognition he deserves, because he is insanely talented.

I couldn't agree more. It's almost criminal how overlooked he is. He is amazingly talented.

Never less than brilliant in performance. Love him in Friends. He was great in Boiler Room and Saving Private Ryan. His Oscar time will come.

I cant wait for "The Rum Diary" He actually kinda reminds me of a young Johnny Depp. Great actor that has yet to do his breakthrough role.

I'm excited for The Rum Diary, too. His screentime with Johnny was way too short in Public Enemies. I hope they have a lot more in Rum Diary.

I agree. He is amazing and completely underrated.

Yes, he was really good; his role made me remember Carter Burke character (actor Paul Reiser), in another famous Cameron movie which I love ver much, Aliens(1986).

Private Ryan, Lost in Translation, Avatar (not a fan of the film but he was great). I would love to see him star in a character driven indie film with a talented young director. I think he's totally overlooked and could stand to carry a film in the future once Hollywood realizes what they've got.
