Would you consider him to be an "A List" actor? I'm not even sure exactly what that means, or if anyone has ever really defined it... I was just thinking, he is probably one of the most famous people that I can think of who I can really relate to, in terms of his background.

He grew up in and around Boston, in places I know, and is of Irish descent, like me. We probably had a lot of the same reference points, growing up. We probably even know a few people in common, although I do not know who they are.

I probably noticed him for the first time in Minority Report, or right around that time. Wikipedia mentions that he has been fired from at least one acting job because he is so Catholic, and so deovted to his wife, that he wouldn't do love scenes. Yeesh. Imagine that, being offered to share intimate moments with hot actresses and just saying "nah, no thanks, not for me." Jesus. In a way, that reminds me of the scene in the 1978 Dawn of the Dead where Ken Foree's character Peter sees an expensive gun in a gun store in that mall, and says "Ain't it a crime." David Emge's character Flyboy asks him what he means, and he replies "The only person who could ever miss with this gun would be the sucker with the bread to buy it."

Anyway, I was just thinking about this. Nothing to do with anything. Had to share.
