Has anyone else gone from an actor people believed was being shoved down their throats by Hollywood to an 'A' lister and a consistent performer? To me it's not that he turned it around but how gradually and systematically he did it.

Never disliked the guy as an actor.

How can you hate on a guy who pops up on google with the following words:

Naked Stoned Bongos

I never hated him, but he's gone from chick flick king to serious talent in short time it seems.

finally watched mud yesterday and he was fantastic

I always thought he was decent enough actor but he's taken his acting to a whole new level recently.

I've always like him . May be because I've seen all the chick flicks he was in.

misnomer.

Go look at his career on IMDB. He really hasn't made that many chick flicks and even when he did make some, he was also in plenty of great action flicks.

Know some people who know his people and they've always said he's a great dude and just an average guy that loves beer and sports

He's had a tremendous run

Rose from the dead but he's respected more for being able to fly a plane than his acting. Can't remember him in anything but action or comedy since Tarantino dug him up for Pulp Fiction.

Have seen a few & thought he was great in those roles but all they required was him being the good looking nice guy. I pulled off that role well 30 years ago.

He had some great performances in some of those action movies and comedies, though. In Broken Arrow and Face Off he played an awesome villain. In Get Shorty he was also great.
