Not whatsoever commenting on his political views here ::cough::, but the more I revisit the first four years, the more I'm convinced of his genius. Ten years on, what male actor in a drama would you pick out of today's television lineup exercising that level of craftsmanship?
D'Onofrio--obviously--but, much as I hate to say this, Goren--and any of the excellent contemporary actors on the L&O franchise that I enjoy so much--don't give me the same sense of seriousness of purpose that I see in the Ben Stone character, aware as I am that we are talking about *acting.* Perhaps I'm nostalgic for '90s serious and rationalism--who ever would have thought?!
