You got to love his naturalistic acting in this. I wouldn't have guessed this was his first acting role. He was very good, didn't seem out of place.

Well deserved oscars for him.

I agree. He was so convincing, so sincere. I admired him a lot.

He was the star of the film to me. He was also very good in Inside Moves in a small role. Wish he had acted more over the years.

Agreed. I didn't know he wasn't a professional actor until I looked it up afterwards.
