"this list making has to end." Um, am I just completely disoriented by my insane 3 1/2 hour (one-way, mind you) transit-stike-commute, or did I somehow slip into an alternate dimension. I'm so confused.
32. He can rock a cobalt shirt and chartreuse pants and melt the plastic right off my monitor.
31 He figured out how to make the best of his big break, but kept the secret from his brother Joe.

Several more reasons:
30. He knows that when you've got the chemistry, make use of it (he's starred with Binoche and Weisz in two films, and will soon be seen with Kristin Scott Thomas in Chromophobia).
29. His patented intensity and bravado work in animated works as well (Prince of Egypt and Wallace and Gromit).
28. He's not afraid to play seedier characters.
27. The way he says "Dance with me" in The English Patient.
27a - The way he says "Dance with me..." always makes me think he's going to follow it with "...and together we'll explore the dark side."
