Or even a nomination for Silence of the Lambs. I would say outside of Hopkins he was second best in that movie.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.
Besides his deserving a nod, I can't help wishing he'd been at the Oscars for that role if Joan Rivers had been there asking her usual question "Who are you wearing?"
shareYes, at least a nomination
shareHis performance was stellar. A truly gifted and highly underrated actor!
shareYou are so correct about Ted as "Jame Gumb" One of the movies I will never forget...
Great quote (about religion) at bottom of comment also!
Absolutely. I've always thought Ted was unfairly snubbed by not not even getting a nomination for this. I rewatched this recently and I totally agree with you that second to Hopkins' his was my favorite performance in the film. The dance/make-up scene is kind of iconic, right? And he pulled it off so well.

πππ Good one!
Where does fantasy end and reality begin?
