See what happens when you live without t.v. and movies? Haha! He's an actor who's been in a lot of fairly forgettable movies, and a few good ones. My favorite was Bird, which was a movie about Charlie Parker that was directed by Clint Eastwood, I believe. He is also a director...I think he did Waiting to Exhale and Hope Floats...probably others. His worst role was in the awful Battlefield Earth which was the movie version of an L. Ron Hubbard (Mr. Dianetics/wannabe sci-fi writer/con extraordinaire), but the Jarmusch film Ghostdog was pretty horrid as well. Oh, and he's from Longview.
Well, perhaps horrid was a bit strong...but I would have expected better from Jarmusch. I normally really dig his movies. This one just didn't live up to the interesting concept that the film started with. The whole gangsta/samurai thing had a lot of potential, but in the end I was left with a "half-baked" feeling. Also, the whole "noble ghost dog dies, little girl gets the book and shall carry the torch" thing was a bit trite (a la The Professional).
