Shattered Glass

Interesting movie in the content as well as the cast. Hayden Christensen is the journalist who fabricated a number of stories and Peter Sarsgaard is the editor that eventually sees through his posturing. What makes it even more interesting is that Sarsgaard looks, to me, remarkably like Ewan McGregor. I kept thinking I was watching a star wars without special effects ... and a good script... and good writing ... and good acting and...

Aye this is that movie that a good handful of people including me have been trying to get people to watch to show them that Hayden Christiensen is a fine actor if he has good script/direction, which he didnt have in Episode 2.

He does great in this movie, but also every other actor does great in this movie. Just full of really great sub-star actors and great script for them to play with :)

Just saw this on HBO recently. I have to agree, a darn good script, and some nice acting.

You know, that Hank Azaria (who plays the previous editor) is an awfully versitile actor. I tend to think of him first and foremost in his comedic roles, but with this movie, Heat, and Quiz show, he shows he does just as well in the dramatic roles, too.

I have the privilege to watch stage actors as well as voice actors with frequency.

Hank is the quintessential stage guy, in a great way. In a humorous, dramatic, believable, and audible way. He was terrific in his role for this film.

In advance to the question which will be presented by someone in the moron mob, no, I don't know what his cock tastes like :lol:

Doesn't Hank Azaria also do a lot of the Simpsons voices....Like Moe and Apu?

He is a complete legend.

Hank Azaria is one of the more talented entertainers in the industry... only not many really notice him because his roles are all so different (voice acting on the simpsons, that monty python musical on broadway now... just everything is pretty unique in his list of skills.)

Hank Azaria voices a ton of characters in Simpsons, the most of any of the voice actors. Just look at range of characters!

Apu
Moe
Cheif Wiggum
Comic Book Guy
Lou
Carl
Dr. Nick Riviera
Snake
Kirk Van Houten
Captain McCallister(arrr!)
Bumblebee Man
Superintendent Chalmers
Professor John Frink
Cletus Del Roy
Legs
Dredrick Tatum
Doug
Old Jewish Man
Duffman
Wiseguy
Disco Stu
Luigi


The other two main Simpsons voice actors also kick ass. Harry Shearer does about 19 reoccuring character voices like Montgomery Burns, Smithers, Flanders, Principle Skinner, Otto, Reverend Lovejoy, McBain, Dr. hibbert....and he was in Spinal Tap!!!(in otherwords he's a god to me :P)

Dan Castellaneta also does around 20 main characters, like Homer, Mayor, Krusty, Barney...Itchy.

All of the other cast members do just a handful of characters, so those three are what really makes Springfield come alive.

Yeah he was great :cry:. All the voices actors on Simpsons rock, it's just that those three voice actors I mentioned do like 80% of all the characters.
