I think what I liked about him most was how he would put himself into a character 100%, no matter how small or ridiculous the part. I think it served him well later in his career.

One example I would support is his role as James Bennett/Sam Phelps in the Matt Bomer series White Collar.

Iā€™ve read several of his novels. Blood Meridian was the best I thought, because itā€™s so brutally honest about U.S. history. So brutal though that I donā€™t think I could do it again.

After reading ā€œThe Road,ā€œ someone asked me if Iā€™d be watching the movie.

ā€œFuck noā€œ was all I could say.

I watched the movie for The Road in our local ā€œartā€ theater. Never again. ::shudder::
