    Great actor and sounds like John Lydon!


    Nothing more to add, just an utterly pointless post from a hungover sweaty!

    What do you reckon's his best performance? Just off the top of my head I'd say Murder in the First.

    Also looking forward to his portrayal(sp) of George Smiley in the upcoming "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".

    After seeing him doing the rounds promoting TTSP, he doesn't seem the most charasmatic person in the world.

    Same can be said of DeNiro. Great actor but has the personality of a plank of wood.

    Leon was probably his best performance in my opinion...


    Liked him in Sid n Nancy...weird he played Sid, as I said, his natural voice sounds very like Lydon's


    Also, liked him Book of Eli (a very good film)

    "Leon" is a superb movie.

    Haven't seen "Sid and Nancy" or "Book of Eli" -is that the one with Denzel Washington in it as well?

    I'd say 'The Firm'.

    Although Leon and True Romance are better films by a mile, he only really played a cameo role in both of those.

    edit... Forgot about 'Murder in the First' - definitely deserves a mention

    The Firm should never have been remade

    ID was a great film too

    Gary Oldman was not in it though

    Cameo role in Leon???? His character/performance is essential to the story/plot

    his character is essential to the plot but Oldman himself is not in the film for long at all.
