Noah Emmerich

I have been head-wobblingly busy lately, which means this blog has slowed down a little. I have a few reviews I would like to write but will have to get to them later in the week.

Here's a short thought for the day though...


Why is Noah Emmerich not more well known? The guy is a really great actor but he's never even been nominated for a major award at any point, and most people wouldn't even know his name. Three hugely underrated performances come to mind: his multi-layered but small supporting role as Jim Carrey's best mate in The Truman Show, his scene-stealing turn as the exceptionally decent brother in Pride and Glory, and his role as the neighbourhood bully in Little Children.

He's like a cross between Dennis Quaid and Biff from Back To The Future, and the guy needs more respect, dammit!
