Give this man more roles!!!


I don't know, maybe he chooses his scripts wisely, but he is definitely under utilized. Underrated comes to mind

Agreed, but according to his "Quotes" he likes to spend a lot of time with the family between any project and take breaks etc

I said this in another post, but will repeat. He works in Hollywood for only 3-4 months a year, during Australian winter. Lives 7 months of year at home in Melbourne. Is a family man. Acting is just a job to him.

This quote from a recent interview with Eric Bana in the Australian newspaper Daily Telegraph pretty much explains why….

"EB: Just lazy. Just through laziness. Laziness and geography. I enjoy working on my stuff. I really enjoy pre-production. I really enjoy having to prepare for things so it’s never appealed to me to do film after film after film because the prep and the learning side of it is the real gift and it’s something that’s a really cool part of the job. So, I like to have time to do that properly. That inevitably means there are big gaps."
