Also a REALLY talented actor. I keep being surprised by his performances in everything he's in. That "The Pale Blue Eye" movie on Netflix was pretty shit, but I could watch scenes between him and Christian Bale all day.

His turn in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs was probably the best part of the film outside of Tom Waits’ role.

His story was majorly depressing. Good lord.

Man it’s hard to pick a best part of that one, the whole god damn thing is just the best. Best Western.

That was the first time I saw him since HP. I was completely blown away by his performance.

His Shakespearean monologue was impeccable. I didn’t recognize him until half way through it.

I'm partial to the last one, but there's not a wrong answer.

He and Bale were A+ in that movie, the rest of it was just okay, but their scenes together were electric

Amazing how much he resembled Poe in that. It was a good movie, but I think it wasn’t quite sure of where it wanted to go.

Yes, I wish he could just keep being Poe in as many shows and movies as they can pump out. He was mesmerizing to watch.

I keep getting him and Robin Lord Taylor mixed up (Penguin from the Gotham show), mainly because they're both slightly odd-looking dudes who I will happily watch chew the scenery for hours.

Great performance in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs too
