Like brad pitt and wierdly Justin timberlake (in alpha dog and social network) he's making decent inroads to getting respect for his talent. |
There's no doubt he has talent and What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a great film but I've just never been one to say he is a powerhouse. He is starting to sway me though.
