That’s what I like about an actor. Kenneth Braghna is the same way. That’s also why I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise… it’s always “Tom Cruise, as Tom Cruise, in….”
This was very common in old-school Hollywood. It's why we have the term Movie Stars. People would go out of their way to watch an Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cary Grant, whoever movie, when the people who were really good character actors slipped in the background just making movies better.
I too miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman...
Tom Cruise is an odd one for me. The idea I have of Tom Cruise is that he always plays the same character, is just a generic action star, etc. And then whenever I actually watch Tom Cruise in a film, I'm always really impressed by just how good an actor he is. But I still can't shake the idea I have of Tom Cruise.
I have a similar issue with Brad Pitt, where my idea of him is that he's just a generic leading man, despite him almost always putting in a really strong, nuanced and varied performance.
