    • Trivia
      Because his role in Le sixième sens (1986) was so emotionally exhausting, he did everything he could to rid himself of the character Will Graham after filming was completed. This included cutting his hair and dyeing this blonde, and shaving off his beard.
    • Quotes
      (On seeing the Marlon Brando movie, Le dernier Tango à Paris (1972) (aka "Last Tango in Paris") "It was the first time that I understood that acting was an art form. It was not Clint Eastwood on a horse, Bob Hope in a road movie. It was not Don Knotts in The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964). These are favorite movies of mine, too. But when I sat in "Last Tango in Paris", the lightbulb went on. To this day, Brando is the one I want to meet, and the one I'm terrified to meet".
