Career: In 1994, a Miller Ice beer commercial finally enabled him to quit his other jobs to concentrate on his acting career, which culminated in him having five movies out by 1996. In 1997 he found himself the star of another critically lauded film, Lawn Dogs. He had larger parts in two of the bigger hit movies to emerge in 1999: The Green Mile and Galaxy Quest, wowing audiences and critics alike. Big-budget films such as Charlie's Angels gave way to more subtle independent films like Welcome to Collinwood and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. More recent roles include Moon, Iron Man 2, Conviction, Cowboys & Aliens, Seven Psychopaths and The Way, Way Back.
