I've loved this actor ever since he brought a warm, generous spirit and an earthy physicality to his unhip Republican banker character on Six Feet Under. Roles as nice-guy husbands/fathers in Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Away We Go and as a slightly obnoxious version of the same in Greenberg added to his appeal. Now I'm watching the fourth season of Damages and am marveling at his transformation into a PTSD-afflicted soldier with a sense of idealism and a thick beard. Forget James Franco, this guy's got great lips.

Was crossing my fingers for an Emmy nomination in the category of outstanding guest actor, but alas.

Dude killed it (playing a very Messina-like role) in Celeste & Jesse Forever.

A nice foil for Mindy Kaling -- and an opportunity to work his comedic chops -- on The Mindy Project.
Just looked at the cast list for Argo and was duly excited to see both his name and Tate Donovan's.

not sure if it's cuz he looks like some other marginally famous rob or just seems like a 'rob', i think the latter

I'm a fan too--not so much for Air but for Six Feet Under and Sharp Objects. Took me forever to learn his name.
