He could EASILY go for the straight 'normal' leading man Hollywood roles, and still get paid BIG money. He doesn't. He does his own thing, always has. And I admire that in him.

All weird, yeah, but still different), yet guys like Bruce Willis or Will Smith are repeating themselves pretty much their whole career, and nobody makes a big deal out of it, cause those are the 'normal' roles.
