    I'm addicted to Bloodline. Ben's character, Danny, is so multi layered. I can't help but like the character, even though he is on ' a mission' to wreak havoc on his family, and even out old scores. He plays the part of a man damaged by his childhood perfectly.

    I just started watching Bloodline just by name, it's cut out for the part, I saw it on "Mississippi grind", "The Land of Steady Habits" & "Kill them softly" on all of them, perfect. It's kind of John Cazale. They are those roles of problematic types, victims of circumstances, addicts. He is my new favorite actor.

    He's killing me. Why do I find him so impressive? Here's what's odd. I was sitting in the theatre watching Rogue One. I have no idea he's in it as I never followed him, ever, before now. Yet, when his Director first comes on screen I said, "Ahhh. There he is." I mean, I had seen him in ONE film over twenty years before, "Cosi", but that was only because I was a Toni Collette fan after seeing her in "Muriel's Wedding". Back to Ben---and I find he's in "Bloodline" on Netflix. I watched it three times in a row, and then everything else on Netflix in which he appeared. He's the best actor going today.
