Charles Cioffi


Should have been nominated for best supporting actor and probably won it, too. One of the most thoroughly believable, complex portrayals of a man completely lost his mental and moral bearings and yet able to intelligently articulate his sickness in a way that totally makes sense and feels authentic, looking at it in such a twisted way. In his final scene with Fonda, Cioffi is chillingly fantastic. "There are little corners in everyone which are better left alone..." Indeed.

Well said! I agree--Charles Cioffi gives a brilliant performance, definitely overlooked at Oscar time. It'll be on TCM again tonight and I'm looking forward to that chilling last scene of his.
And where's the Blu-Ray?!
