I havent seen Foxcatcher yet but Im super excited to. Steve Carrel looks like hes got an oscar worthy role in his hands. I watched some youtube videos on John Du Pont and couldnt help but think of Ben Mendelsohn. He looks similar to him and talks just like him (minus the accent). Could have been casted for sure. Great actor.

Wow,that's very true. He actually really looks like Du Pont. Would have done a good job. Nothing wrong with Carrel's performance though.

Yeah Steve Carell was really good in Foxcatcher. One of the best performances in years. Ben Mendelson resembles John Du Pont a lot. And he is great at playing a total creep, your right on he would have nailed the role.
