Everytime I see him in a post-Wire role, he plays politically influential powerful soft-spoken smiling world-weary grandpas who just wants things to go back to the way they were. I'd like to see him throw a pie once or twice.

He always seems to get cast as an evil or at least corrupt bossman type (or, in Mystic River, a brutal pedophile). Rodrigo Borgia makes sense. I want to see him be a nice guy for once!

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:Pre-wire, in star trek deep space 9 he played a general tasked with stopping a small scale rebellion. He was unwilling to fight and kill his own people and ended up siding with the rebels due to their reasonable demands. In the end he helped end the conflict peacefully. If we can play pretend for a sec and say that every story ever told took place in the same or parallel dimensions of the same universe, and that an actor represents the same soul traveling across time and space Cloud Atlas-style, then the Doman-soul redeems himself from his long stretches of political intrigue, organized crime, and brutal dictatorship (Caesar from Fallout: New Vegas) and finally finds peace in the 24th century.

My favorite Rawls role is still Die Hard 3, because it was so weird to see him play a tiny bit part.

His dad was Frederick Busch, a novelist with a few awards to his name (nothing I've read, though), so the apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Benjamin's book was war-related (at least the one my friend read), and he's done a few war photography collections. Definitely agree with you though. He probably nailed the dumb jarhead role from his time in the Marine Corps.

And just incase people aren't in the know, he wrote and directed Spotlight, a film about investigative journalism. And played the bad journalist in the Wire. That's some amazing irony synergy right there.

He came in for the audition with the marine corps haircut and when he came back with regular hair, they were like "yo, what happened to the buzzcut?" He's a pretty cool dude, and his book's a surprisingly somber reflection on his life and service in the corps. If you get a chance to, see his short film Bright. It has Capt. America from Generation: Kill in it too.

I finished the second half of S5 the night Templeton won the Oscar which was kind of weirdly serendipitous. I like how everyone knew which guy I was talking about with the vaguest description possible and also that his resume is more impressive than that one character would suggest. I love the names for the product and how they evolve with the times: WMD - 2003 Iraq invasion Swing State - 2004 presidential election Greenhouse Gas - 2006 An Inconvenient Truth (gas up!) Troop Surge - 2007 Iraq troop surge I would have to write a thesis to succinctly explain why I think this is so funny/brilliant

My favorite is when Bodie's crew move in to where the better quality Bin Ladens were being sold, repackage their inferior stuff as WMDs and insist they're just as good, it's "same poo poo, different name".
