Carlyle was perfect

For the role of Ives/Calhoun. Especially with his "madman" ploy and that black trench coat and hat in the woods. The scene where he is attacking Boyd on the cliff ledge with that crazed smile and the blood on his lips...Perfect. He had a very creepy sort of Charles Manson look to him that worked perfectly.

Guy was perfect too, imo. They're both chameleons as need be.

Pearce is definitely a chameleon. He looks, and acts, so differently in the movies he does. There have been times I've watched a movie & never recognized him.

My feelings exactly. I couldn't think how to word it, but that's exactly how I felt about it. What a good actor he is.

And the long hair added to his cache in that role. He and Pearce are both very sexy with that long hair.
