Well, in my completely inexpert opinion, he totally captured the role. Here's a guy that just oozes everything that was wrong with the music business, and he knows exactly how to appeal to the band. For me, his performance made the whole switch to the plane believable. And then, I guess I just found his 'confession' totally compelling, better than anyone's. I mean... compare him to Jason Lee's (which I thought came off horribly) Patrick Fugit's, which was stilted throughout. Even Billy Crudup's speeches on the plane were kinda lame. It was a small role, but I think he made the most of it.
: fine, and i agree he has talent, but what was brilliant about the performance, i mean thats stretching the word big time.
: : I never said that I wanted to see him in Fletch because of his work in Almost Famous, just that I'd have to rethink it. Almost Famous just makes me realize that he's a much better actor than I gave him credit for. However, I *do* think his performance in that movie was brilliant.
: : : famous, i mean, great movie, lets not let that make it seem like fallon was so brilliant, i mean i was happy to see him, and i thought it was solid, to recant my it sucked statement, but too be so blown away that we want him as fletch, i mean come on.
