    I've liked Greg Kinnear in every movie of his that I've seen. He always seems so natural, regardless of the role he's playing. I'm disappointed that he didn't discuss his role in The Kennedys mini-series. Playing JFK doesn't qualify as an iconic character?!?! There have been many actors who've played Jack Kennedy. I think Kinnear's performance is the best one I've ever seen. I wish he'd talked about it.

    He’s one of my favorite actors, Mr. Kinnear is so talented & seems genuine but for some reason, he never became an a-lister like he deserves. “Auto Focus” & his role as Simon in SGTG are my favorite of his. I thought “Stuck On You” was an oddly funny movie too. I’m very surprised he didn’t mention his role as JFK? :/

    One of the best films I've ever seen was called "The Matador," starring Pierce Brosnan and a superb (and terribly underrated) Greg Kinnear. If you haven't watched it yet, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR!!! For me, this little known gem was the best picture of the year, with many independents like this one missing out completely. *Show your support.*
