For this attractive actor, it?s a blessing and a curse: he?s got the perfect romantic-comedy skills, but he?s in the one decade when the genre isn?t flourishing. Fred MacMurray, Ray Milland and many lesser lights built long careers without the charm Kinnear has shown in As Good As It Gets, Sabrina, Nurse Betty and Feast of Love.
