One of these guys is named Michael Madsen and one is named Tom Sizemore. They’re both “actors,” which they do by cocking their heads sideways and acting tough. They’re also both drug addicts and whoremongers, like, you know, all real men are.
In 1942, my dad was stationed in the North African theater of the war. John Garfield came to buoy up the troops. He was a tough guy too. They laughed at him. Because when it comes to tough guys, there’s a thing called acting.
Acting is, uh, acting.
