    Guy is one of those actors, like Christian Bale, that is just so focused and committed to his projects to the point that, if I see him in literally anything, I'll watch it knowing that something about the movie got him interested. Such a talent, and always picking such fascinating roles. He's one you'll never see showing up for just a paycheck; he has to want to be there and get to the heart of the role.

Anything someone does exceptionally, like Guy acts, but that others are horrible at, like you or I, means they are talented at that thing. Talent is just that: being exceptional at something a large part of the human population can't do, or can only do slightly well. If everyone could act like this, it wouldn't be special, but that's obviously not the world we live in.

    What a legend. I don’t think he’s underrated, like some people say. Sounds to me like directors know he’s worth the goods. Not all actors, especially Aussies, feel they have to be in all the ‘big movies’ to be of value. People like Guy, Cillian Murphy...they stay humble, don’t care much for the limelight and are incredible actors who clearly love their craft.

    Yeah I think Cillian Murphy is a great comparison. Several acclaimed shows and films, a Nolan film or two (or three), but never overtly popular to the point where people recognize him. I think Cillian has a slight edge because of 28 Days Later which just had freak popularity, but other than that basically equivalent.

When an actor can make you see past "it's just a movie" to actaully wanting something so drastic to happen to their character is when you know, they have reached the point of an Oscar performance. It's a shame Guy has never been mominated.

A show he could go back to if he wanted as Jane is now back on the show. I only watched it to see Kylie Minogue in her dungarees working on cars and the mullets. Oz loved the mullet. Mike wore his well. A fine actor. Peter Weyland for me. Loved him doing that.
