I don’t know this actor’s name and neither do you, but I’m sure you’ve seen a minimum of six movies in which he’s starred (the only ones I can remember are Good Night and Good Luck and A League of Their Own). He’s really noticeable because he looks completely and utterly out of place in every scene that he’s ever been in. He always plays a guy who is seemingly good-hearted, but ultimately untrustworthy. Even if he’s not necessarily a bad guy in his role, he’s still untrusting towards himself, his confidence, and his ability to achieve. He was amazing in The River Wild though.

man you should update, i’m tired of looking at this photo. he has a really funny genre of tanned skin. it’s kind of like the woodbury tan, white people that don’t get their tan from the beach from from mountaineering or rough activities. and it’s kind of brown looking

Haha he was also in the The Bourne Ultimatum as the token “high-up on the food chain, operates outside of the law, has a clearer understanding of the big picture than the average joe, but is clearly an evil douchebag hell bent on proliferating “the machine” that supposedly protects our freedom but is in fact raping us of that freedom and keeps it all under the rug while doing so” guy. I did like him in Good Night and Good Luck though…

Guys, is this a serious subject? DS is one of the most underrated actors of our time, yeah he sometimes play dubious moral characters, but his willingness to go there and pull it off must show his range of acting? He’s a guy with no ego and a talent and if you seen him in readings and in some flicks like the climb he shines. Let’s’ not diss such a cool guy.
