People seem to forget he got an Oscar nomination for his first major movie. Or that he just did a hella good job playing Howard Hughs, or any one of the other good movies he's been in.

It's not about good or bad acting. It's about having some kind of passing resemblance to Theodore Roosevelt. I really don't think merely the glasses and mustache, as distinctive as they are, are enough to present a convincing illusion.

To be fair, I didn't think Michael Keaton could pull off Batman either and he sure as heck did.

Or, ultimately (gonna get flamed for this I'm sure) Tom Cruise as Lestat. I thought he did well.

He did. I mean, when the creator of the character says you did well, any further discussion is moot.

Yeah, well, she's said a lot of things I'd protest. ;-) But, my first reactions was WTF? And he pulled it off. That's what makes his latest few movies so hard to watch...
