...difference: you won't hear Crowe screaming "Stella!" He rarely raises his voice in films. As the neo-Nazi skinhead in his 1992 attention snagger Romper Stomper, he achieves his most menacing effects with a whisper and reads a passage from Mein Kampf as if it were a sacred bedtime story. The tough cop he played in the 1997 L.A. Confidential is another soft-spoken type: in lieu of shouting, he tattoos his fist on a suspect's face, grabs a man's genitals.
