I DEFINITELY agree with you there. He's just GOOD in that milieu. I don't think standard Hollywood has a slot for an actor like him, where he's got a nice face, but the face isn't the point. The face is ALWAYS the point in Hollywood. He should either stick to the period stuff where he can be intense in that repressed, claustrophobic way that he's so good at, or muscle his way into the weird-ass indie shit like you find at Sundance where he can play strung out heroin pushers. He's a square peg as far as the Hollywood Shit Machine is concerned.
