Fantastic actor, one of the current greats in my opinion. 

 

 surely he has played a Vampire by now?

 

 

 

 

checking....... 

Still enjoyed him as the child actor in Empire of the Sun. 

 

 

Smart decision. 

at 44 he's still just a kid, at that age you are immortal.

Moderation as you age.  He has a point.  Good for him.

The Grim Reaper is waiting for each of us. Comes early often to idiots, fools. I do not take each day for granted. God bless all! 

who cares...in the end its the same result
