What ya got? I'm going with Prefontaine.

Of course you can't go wrong with your answer. He's a phenomenal actor.

We're talking about Paul Allen here. American Psycho all the way.

Acting like he and his band make good music.

It really was. I do believe the oscars are just a popularity contest but they get it exactly right sometimes and that was one of them.

I'll be honest. I can't think of something I've seen Leto in that I didn't like. Requiem for a Dream was obviously a great performance too.

It helps that he chooses his roles wisely and doesn't do just any movie. Very talented actor and I like his music as well.

I HATED Mr. Nobody.

Fun fact: he stayed in character 24/7 for Dallas Buyers club. Friend of mine saw him in drag shopping at Rouses in the WHD.

Also, while looking up the name for Mr. Nobody (I forgot it since I had no interest ever rewatching) I saw that he's from Bossier City.

Just hearing him talk, he seems like a real self involved d-bag.

"The frick" to hating Mr. Nobody? I thought it was really pretentious and too Malicky.

Or "the frick" to my description of what happened?
1) Remembered hating Mr. Nobdy, but forgot the name so went to his IMDB page
2) Got the name of the film
3) in the process of getting the name of the film, saw that he was born in Bossier

His charity work proves he's not. I've not read a bad thing about the guy myself.

I can't really take charity work into account. A good bit of it is done in public to receive praise from others. My wife works in fundraising for a non-profit, and this is a huge aspect to their campaigning. The wealthy are very concern about how the public perceives them.

I'm not saying that he did all of his charity work for those reason, but I'm not going to use that as a basis for my opinion of him.

Ok, that's fine. I've ran into both he and his brother Shannon at many a concert and they're so down to earth.

And he embraces his Louisiana roots. The guy loves his mother, which raised them both without a father.

I could be totally off base about the guy, but that's just the impression I got from him.
