He had a rise in the 2010s that could be categorized as "meteoric".. he has been prominent in a couple of films that I love, Pacific Rim being the most notable for me.

Curious to see how he grades out on TexAgs.

good, but not as great as some make him out to be, so I guess a little overrated

I think he's pretty late, but lately he seems stuck in a "tough guy" rut. Stringer Bell and what I've seen of Luther seemed different.

Hopefully he'll land another iconic and nuanced role soon.

Besides Heimdall and String, I don't think I've really cared for anything he's done. He's been in movies that I've liked, but it had nothing to do with him.

I liked him in earlier stuff like RocknRolla before he was a big name.

Big fan of Luther and he was great in The Wire too, but yeah, he hasn't shown much range at all lately.

He seems like a great guy from interviews I have listened to.

I'm a fan, but will also say that his "accent" in Prometheus was maybe the second worst accent work in a movie I've heard from a major star behind only Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York.

We need to get a rundown before we can make a decision.

He's like the Carlos Santana style of actors. Sure he can only play lead guitar, but he's one of the best at it.

He would have been near perfect as the first black Bond, but the window opened too late.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

I've always thought Seal would make a great Bond villain.

The Charles episodes reveal my favorite darker humor of the Office, which is when Jim gets held accountable by a real boss and his prank-centric mentality makes him look terrible.



Saw this gem on Google by the way.

Yes he would have. But the trade off is we wouldn't have gotten Craig. And that would have been a loss.
