Jamie in Truly Madly Deeply (1990). It's the one movie that showed how horrible we look when we cry after the loss of a love one.

I love how Harvey Dent was portrayed by Aaron Eckhart, the fall from grace is well done too. The road trip to the insane asylum never looked so twisty and bumpy in years. All in all, a good ( Read more... )

A man who may not be the best actor of his generation but covered a range of genres and themes. I remember him best for Moses and Ben-Hur but he also did a wonderfully villainous Cardinal Richelieu in the The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers.
