A very happy 57th birthday to one of the finest actors working these days, and one of my faves, Mr. Chris Cooper. In his honor, my five favorite performances of his...
Sheriff Sam Deeds, Lone Star"No telling yet if there's been a crime, but this country's
seen a fair amount of disagreements over the years."
Col. Frank Fitts, American Beauty"What is this? The fucking Gay Pride parade?"
Robert Hanssen, Breach"One might propose that I am either insanely brave
or quite insane. I'd answer neither. I'd say, insanely loyal.
Take your pick. There's insanity in all the answers. "
Alvin Dewey, Capote"I care. I care a great deal if we catch whoever did this."
John Laroche, Adaptation"Then one morning, I woke up and said, 'Fuck fish.'
I renounce fish, I will never set foot in that ocean again.
And there hasn't been a time where I have stuck
so much as a toe back in that ocean."

He's SO great in Breach.
I reallt need to see Adaptation soon.
I really think it's a shame he didn't get a nom for Breach.
And yes, JD, see Adaptation you MUST.
I agree, his role in Breach is astounding. When I showed it to my mam, she said how refreshing it was to see an ugly guy on screen! I think she meant well...haha.
I'm thinking it's time to drag my Adaptation dvd off the shelf and watch it again. You can never get enough of that film.
