Indeed. He was a fun 'love to hate' character.

I hardly recognized him with that red, curly hair.

Probably his best performance for me, I’ve always thought he was overrated, decent but not the great that he’s made out to be, but he’s brilliant in this film, as another poster said I hardly recognised him.

He's cool, I agree. You reach the end hating this nerd.

It was probably the only time with Milk when he didn't have his usual "pissed off" look. He constantly seems mad in his movies, but not here.

It still have his usual asshole look lol.

Btw, I loved his performance in this film.
