But every interview and fan interaction I've ever seen with Giancarlo he is so warm and kind. He is one of those actors who can draw me to a project I'm not otherwise interested in because I just HAVE to see him act more. Please Hollywood, someone find more parts for this man.

    His characters looks mundane on the surface but upon close inspection they are dangerous. He is so good of an actor and sometimes I root for his character even if he is the villain. I love to see him act more, in a series preferably.

    It’s crazy how he looked so completely different and sounded completely different in The Usual Suspects.

    One of his most underrated performances was as Jack Baer in The Usual Suspects.
    Although remembering him as Buggin in Do The Right Thing, it was his role in Bryan Singer’s neo-noir thriller that really caught my attention - and he wasn’t even one of the main characters. That’s how good he was, and still is, as an actor.
