Walked into the kitchen for lunch and turned on the kitchen counter tv. It was on a talk show of Queen Latifah and she is interviewing MM.

I thought it was interesting when she asked him about changing the types of roles he took. He said he wanted to do different roles and talked to his wife and they decided to it and he predicted "things are gonna get drryyyy" and that in fact "they god drrryyyyy" for about 2 years until he approached a kind of anonymity, at least enough to "become someone's new idea".

I thought it was kind of interesting that even a well known and successful actor like him struggled to get good roles.

Not enough good roles for stoner types.

Mud was an awesome movie. He did great in True Detective. Oscar aids movie he did well in.

How long can you play the playboy in movies when you're approaching 40? Not that long.

tons of established actors/actresses struggle to get roles

There is a very select few, even within the "famous actors" circle who can basically pick and chose roles without auditions or competing

I know he had a "rom-com" spell for a bit, but he had quite a few "substantial" roles that are continuously overlooked. Some favorites -
Thirteen Conversations About One Thing (2001)
Lone Star (1996)
Frailty (2001)
And of course obvious ones -
Contact (1997)
Dazed & Confused (1993)
Time to Kill (1996) among others.
He has (is) building quite a filmography for himself. Cannot wait for Interstellar!
