I’ve seen three movies featuring this guy. _Live Free or Die Hard_, _Jack Reacher_, and _I, Frankenstein_. Of the three he was best in _Jack Reacher_ and that’s because he had precious little dialogue.

I don’t know who decided this guy gets to be in movies but they were wrong. The movie has two other good actors and a good director so hopefully it’s not awful but this news isn’t heartening. Was he good on TV? Is there any hope here?
