Plus: Dexter, the new Tyler Perry sitcom, and assorted Christmas specials.
Plus: Fairly Legal gets a good omen, two of pop music's biggest names will co-host SNL, and Wonder Woman will be more badass.
Joe Pantoliano is a truly cool actor. You really believe that he got into acting because he loves it for what it is. You'll never see him in any tabloids and you won't hear any gossip about him. In his roles, you sense more realism than many other actor's who are considered more talented than he. Of all of his roles in all of his movies, my favorite has to be "The Matrix."
When most people think of a role that "Joey Pants" has played they will likely to think of a roll where he was a bad guy. Whether it be Ready to Rumble, the Matrix (Cypher), or The Sopranos, this actor has proven he's the guy you love to hate.
The skill of this actor above all else is that he will constantly suprise the audience with his rolls. If one looks at many of his acting jobs, they are so unique and different that unless someone is told they will likely not realize who they are watching.
While he has never proven himself good enough to be a leading actor for the most part and likely will not be the leading actor, with his skill, he makes a perfect actor to tie a tv show together such as The Handler or to have a medium size part in movies, such as Bad Boys, The Fugative.
He has also written an autobiography about his life growing up in an Italian family, which shines a little light on how he got started into acting.
Overall Joe Pantoliano is definatly a guy to watch. He gives a compelling performance every time, and definatly will grow to be one of the great character actors.
