I first recognized/heard of him when I was 8 with his film Goldeneye as Boris, and I've loved him ever since. From X2 as nightcrawler to ESPECIALLY his role as Eli Gold on The Good Wife, this guy is an AMAZING actor and everyone should respect his ability! Trolls need not apply - keep your negative opinions to your untrained eye!
shareHe really gets into the mind of his characters and he does tend to play a lot of offbeat characters thanks to that.
shareTo me his acting is the best of all actors in The Good Wife.
Just found out he was in GoldenEye. No wonder. I had always wondered which movie I first saw him in.
he makes my skin crawl
shareDo you mean you think he's hot? Or you just really love his acting?
shareI'm a relatively new fan of Mr. Cumming's. I've been viewing everything possible he's done on film. He's been in a LOT of movies that I would not normally watch so it's been a challenge. There are a few gems: Boogie Woogie, his role is small but intense, and he's brilliant. The mini-series, The Runaway, can be viewed right here at imdb. He plays a maternal, kind-hearted tranny to the titular child-woman. And my favorite of his films is Rudy Donatello in "ANY DAY NOW". I am in awe of his eyes and how expressive they are. Not just occasionally, but in every scene. When he is testifying he slides so easily through so many different emotions. Subtle but powerful. I've been fortunate to see him on stage, years ago in "Threepenny Opera" and more recently in "Cabaret". A consummate performer, with wit and humor, empathy. And, yes, as a straight woman, I find him hot even when he's in drag.
