The first time I saw Michael Pena was in the movie Crash. I was very impressed by his acting ability. He portrays grace on the screen, as well as gentleness. The next time I saw Mr. Michael Pena was in the movie Shooter, starring Mark Wahlberg, who is one of my favorite actors of all time. The movie was great and I loved Michael Pena as Nick Memphis. Mr. Pena showed great range in the movie. I loved how he appeared naive as a rookie FBI agent, showed his fear when captured by the bad guys, but then became ruthless in his quest for the truth. I recently watched World Trade Center and was once again touched by this man's unbelievable acting. I'd avoided the movie (until two days ago) because of the emotion 9/11 stirs in me. Michael Pena was amazing in this movie. Just amazing. He is a great actor; that's all there is to it. I firmly believe that he will grow into one of the movie greats.
