this guy is just an awesome actor



Loved him in A Serious Man, Boardwalk Empire, Men in Black III, etc. etc. He has a screen presence that is simultaneously understated and powerful. And, he's versatile; all of his characters above are quite different. I hope to see a lot more of this guy!

He's so good.

He scares the Hell out of me in Boardwalk Empire. Really the most unnerving of all the scary people in it.

Then in MIB3 and Hitchcock, for example, he's adorable.

Plus he's gorgeous...

I came here to say the same exact thing. His little cameo in Seven Psychopaths is better than some of the performances! Boardwalk Empire, Hugo, A serious Man. This guy knows what he's doing.

He really should be more appreciated and get more roles. Stuhlbarg is a class act and one of the finer actors in the game today, and it doesn't seem like we're the only ones to think so as he's landed parts with many great directors such as Scorsese, the Coens, Woody Allen, Spielberg and Ridley Scott.
