    I actually thought he was the star of Oh Brother. I know George Clooney was technically the star, but he shines.

    Seems the least real person ever. Mebbe a genuine Hollywood type….

    The guy next to the guy, or the cinematic foil

    No gargoyle, I find that face lovely as the man. There is no better character actor. He is also a brilliant writer- director. I buy any film with which he is associated. Same for Turturro.

    He is such a great actor, so sad to hear he got entirely cut out of Dune Part Two. He would’ve made a great Count Fenring. I’m sad we’ll probably never see his performance since Denis is not into releasing deleted scenes.

    This guy should portray Terrence McKenna in a biopic.

    He was truly terrific in HBO’s Watchmen. The whole cast was so impressive, like Jean Smart, Regina King, Jeremy Irons… Head and shoulders above the usual superhero fare.

    This guy should have been your first guest instead of the talking head.

    Minority report springs to mind whenever I see him. Only a small role but the creepiness of his character came through hard! Ams it really sets the tone for the rest of the movie

    i like when the guest asks Colbert a question because then Stephen displays an example of the desired answer which is a well-spoken, thoughtful, wordy yet concise sentiment. 8:25
