In a movie full of talent, he owns this thing. Damn, he was so much fun to watch.

I agree. He is supremely fun to watch in most of the films he's done -- Midnight Run, Another Stakeout, That Old Feeling, Snatch, Get Shorty -- to name a few. Sadly, he was underrated and didn't get the recognition he deserved.

If you can find it he starred a show called "Crime Story" back in the 80s. It was about his team versus the mob in Chicago and Vegas back in the 1950s.

It was awesome and what gave him his start.
