Superb actor.

he really is...... i think mimes have to be to convey their emotions and feelings without words..... silver surfer was really good and he was tres sexy in it too

I think his efforts were probably well used because his learning the language allowed him to adjust his body timing to perform within the "beat" of the film, even if his voice wasn't used...this fellow is a real artist, a person who will go that extra distance to deliver a thoughtful, meditative performance. (Oh! And I also worked on his Tank Girl and Warriors of Virtue Costumes...had a lot of fun on those films too.)

One of my favorite things he did was the memorable zombie in "Hocus Pocus"...very funny.
