    I agree he's underrated
    I also think he's overdue an Oscar so, if by chance,Clint Eastwood, Sofia Coppola or Tim Robbins are looking at this, could you please consider him for a future project.
    The man deserves an Oscar.

    A great actor!

    Loved him in The Rock, Apollo 13, The Truman Show and Radio (and seen other roles of his too).

    He acts really well with his EYES (especially in The Rock).

    I think he's underrated!
