re: matthew mcconaughey - transformation to a great actor?

He's certainly made some fantastic choices lately. My favorite roles of his are also the more recent: Mud, Dallas, TD. All solid dramatic acting-though he hasn't really had to stretch beyond Texas guy in any of those roles. Even in Dallas Buyer's (after apparently going on a tapeworm diet for the part) he's still pickin fights & bein smooth with the laadays. I don't mean that as a knock, and own Mud & DBC. I'm just thankful when I don't have to suffer through an awful accent in an otherwise good film.
