this guy is probably one of the few actors who i thought was pretty cool and just did a complete 180 and went to shit
he seems to have some interesting ideas but they don't transfer over to his actual work/characters

i feel like he doesn't have a place in nu-Hollywood. He should do the TV show route or show up in a Marvel movie, i guess those are the remaining two options for any actor now.

I loved him as Nixon in The Butler, would happily watch an John-Cusack-as-Nixon mini-series on HBO.
he's great in The Paperboy as well, I think he's best when playing creeps, weirdos and/or perverts

all his photos in recent years he even looks like a poker player. lots of baseball caps. i think maybe he partied vv hard after the Cubs won the Series.

I remember I liked Maps to the Stars a lot, I wonder if there will be more or fewer of these Hollywood's-dark-underbelly type films in the post-Weinstein scandal world or if they'll take a different approach

There's an old Hollywood maxim that you can only play what you're offered. And when he was a medium-wattage movie star, when it came to producing his own stuff it eventually ended with the very underwhelming War, Inc.
Anyway the guy had a p decent run for 20 years beginning in '85. I didn't like the films that Cronenberg and Spike Lee cast him in, but as long as he's on the radar of guys like that he should be OK for character parts.
