Never Lived Up To His Potenial

I think this guy is a AMAZING actor, but he seems to get overlooked quite a bit, or has had a hard time finding parts that work for him.

Ten years ago i was sure he would be one of the top talents in the industry, but it seems things did not pan out like that in which parts he choose or was offered.

I wonder why this was, or is, he is obviously much more talented than the parts he has had would indicate.

Thoughts?

I wish he would write and direct another film. The Anniversary Party was amazing.

Have you seen him in "The Good Wife" on CBS? That's on American TV, since I'm not sure if you're British. As of last night, I think he's the best thing in the show. If you haven't seen it, you really must watch it! His character seems to be pretty one-dimensional at first, but as the show has progressed, he reveals himself to be a very complex and interesting person. He also appears to be in a British series at the same time, though I don't know how that's possible! And judging from his filmography, he's involved in loads of projects both current and about to be released. I really think he's doing quite well!
