I'm such a big Rip Torn fan from Larry Sanders so I gotta go with Torn, but Bateman was great also.

Rip Torn, because Jason Bateman was a not so funny caricature of himself. The role didn't really fit him.

Rip Torn made it happen for me.

This movie would have been a miss without Torn.

Torn's line delivery was absolutely smashing!

What about Gary Cole as Cotton McKnight?

That's right about Gary Cole. It seems like Jason's character got many set ups and assisted scores thanks to Gary's help.

Torn was funny, Bateman hilarious, and Cole the best straight man ever.

I have to go with Rip Torn. Bateman's character has been done to death by tons of other people.
