Doesn't he basically play Tommy Lee Jones in every movie? Many actors do this, but I can't think of a role where he wasn't some kind of curmudgeonly/cranky old guy.

He was a psychotic in Under Siege, picking scenery out of his teeth along with Gary Busey.

He does it in his sleep. It's that way for some actors.

It's also a fact we each sometimes just don't like the person.

He’s solid in pretty much everything except Natural Born Killers and Batman Forever.

He's a notorious a-hole, so I'd prefer someone else be cast for the role.

You talking about Clay Boytrin? Or Clay Shaw?

I thought he was very good in Cobb.


He was fine as cranky old man Cobb. It was the flashback scenes that were awful. Not all TLJ’s fault bc he was way too old to even pretend to be a ball player, but it was still bad. Aside from his obvious age, he looked so awkward trying to be athletic.

I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it.

I really like him as an actor. I like what you guys said about making every movie better by being in it (except BF). That being said, if you watch Harvard beats Yale 29-29 he comes off as a completely arrogant POS.
