He did great in this show and I dont know if he prefers playing comedic roles but he did an excellent job in this very serious role. I love how HBO puts people you wouldnt normally see in certain roles.
shareHe is excellent. A leading man he is not. Trust me, no sexy women for him.
Paul Giamatti has been a leading man for over a decade now, and he's been paired with very sexy women - from "Sideways" (in 2004) to the current "Billions."
Gorgeous women have been known to fall for guys who don't fall within pretty boy stereotypes.
Just ask Sophia Loren.
