One of the greatest actors, but seems to be underrated here on Tv.com and Filmspot, I really enjoy watching him and most of his movies are usually very cool. I think that all of his movies are always very well done and you can certainly see that he puts a lot of his effort to make the best acting possible. I really like his style.
