    I've watched several of these " X breaks down his most iconic roles" and this is the first time the actor ACTUALLY breaks down the roles. Most of the time they just keep saying what a great experience it was and how talented was everyone around them. Great actor and great video.

I went with my mom (I was 11 or 12) who was always a working mom (Teacher and Administrator for many years) and I distinctly remember her crying she was laughing so hard.

    Easily one of my all-time favorite actors. I grew up watching his films in the 80's and 90's, and had he retired at that point, he'd still be considered among the finest male actors of his generation. But he continued with one memorable role after another, and he continues to this day with remarkable, subtle, dynamic, intelligent performances, each of which help establish him as one of the all-time greats.
