    hm, this is just a fan page, and he wont actually read it, however...
    i thiiink he was amazing in mysterious skin. his character has this (i cant spell it) effortlessly cool.. ora..
    and he gets it across quite well that he is still troubled.
    particularly in the scene where he is with the aids victim, and he's rubbing his back, the look on his face and his body language.

    also in manic, he portrays the angry teen rather well.
    anddd in the lookout, although ive never had any personal experiences with someone who suffers from memory loss, i still feel its very well acted. he seems to have taken care with the way he walks and talks, and those minor details make all the difference i feel.

    and finally, in brick i thought he was really good too, once again having this ora of cool around him. even though he was meant to be seen as a loner, to the person watching it he seems rather effortlessly cool.

    and yeah he was cute in 10 things i hate about you...
    yet to see 3rd rock from the sun
    ha...
