Such varied roles, so believable


a bit like viggo mortenson, who looks so ruddy different in each of his movies that in every movie you feel like you are waching him for the first time. Which is an amazing accomplishment, however, it also means that people forget to connect the dots between his different, brilliant performances.

I have to say it took me a while to string together Almost Famous, Inventing the Abbotts and Stage Beauty. But then I started to look out for him and if I hadnt I dont think I'd be able to connect Good Shephard and Watchmen to his body of work. I mean, how is he not one of the top names yet?

I thought Dr Manhattan was a super incredible performance - dont the producers/directors out there see that. So whispery and yet such a commanding presence...
