Has he actually ever been good in anything?

Glory is probably his best performance, but so many actors could have done better.

Fantastic in Max Dugan Returns. He was the best part of the movie. Same with Ladyhawke.

[–] PaladinNJ (21772) 3 years ago

forgot about Ladyhawke. Absolutely a great performance. Thank you.

Wow he was the kid in Max Dugan. I loved that movie as a kid. Actually saw it in the theatre.

[–] samoanjoes (58580) 3 years ago

Meh. I think he's average in all.

Election (1999)

[–] samoanjoes (58580) 3 years ago

I like the movie, but I think they could have gotten a better actor.

He wasn’t insufferable in Ferris Bueller (although I think that movie is beyond overrated) but other than that I can’t think of anything. I’m not even a fan of The Lion King.

[–] samoanjoes (58580) 3 years ago

I think he's passable in Ferris Bueller.

Same here, I would rate it a 6. Something to watch on a rainy day.

The Cable Guy had him convincingly play a pushover who gets taken advantage of.

Ferris Bueller

And of course Godzilla 2000!

[–] samoanjoes (58580) a year ago

Godzilla (1998). Godzilla 2000 is the Japanese one.

[–] howgamer (3987) a year ago

Oh I thought it came out in 99, but was called 2000. My bad.

He's been good in everything. He was great in "Glory".

[–] KiwiJim (1775) a year ago

He was great in Election. I also liked him in Biloxi Blues, Torch Song Trilogy, The Cable Guy, Manchester by the Sea. Ferris of course. I think he’s a decent actor.
