...three movies he's starring in this season: in Bandits, which opened last month, he plays a Woody Allenish neurotic bank robber; in the Coen brothers' retro film noir The Man Who Wasn't There, he's a poignantly understated 1940s Job; and in December's death-row drama Monster Ball, his depressed prison guard finds a reason for living in a mixed-race relationship with Halle Berry.
