He looks decent, I just hope his portrayal is decent

[jo]

He is not in character in the movie - as he is caught smiling in this photo

[rosscoe(au)]

I cant stand him, why people keep on giving him work is beyond me. He is horrible to work with and that is on first hand knowledge!

[BWNUT]

Some people just care about what ends up on the screen to the exclusion of everything else .

[sueb1863]

Does he have a beard? Or is it just the low quality of the picture?

[JP2]

[CapnHook]

Agreed. He's awful. Not sure why he has a career.

[ChenoKahn]

Because he can act well.

[CapnHook]

If by that, you mean that he does a great job of acting like he can't act.

[E.Davis]

To each their own, but Gladiator is one of my favorite films of his.

[JP2]

Lord. Get over it.

[castlestreet]

I think he'll do a fine job

[ChenoKahn]

No I meant he is great at acting the part he is given.

[Jordan Catalano]

He's a great actor at acting like he's acting when he's not acting in an acting role that requires him to act.

[ChenoKahn]

Haha, I think he is a good actor. You don't. Established.

[Jordan Catalano]

I think he's a great actor. Awful man, though.

[ChenoKahn]

I know which is why I hate that I think he is a good actor.

[Jane2]

I don't care what he's like in person. I think he's a great actor and not too hard on the eyes either. mmmmm.

[My Oh My]

Awful man = Javert!! Perfect casting. XD

Unless you "humanize" him as in the tour making him surprise you every time he pops out of nowhere--what happens when you take away the vital lurking in shadows, stalker quality from a character who is engaged in a form of that for 3 hours. Yikes!

[chewy5000]

Regardless of his acting talent, that is a terrible hat.

[ChenoKahn]

Well that's just a picture.

[rosscoe(au)]

Why would they give him a picture of a hat?

[peachesr82]

Whether you'll like him or not, he's got the part and I can't imagine his presence in the film is going to stop any of you seeing the film is it? I think he looks great. I've actually found some of his tweets about some of the prep for the film and the choosing the horse etc really interesting.

[best12bars]

His casting should actually bring people to see this movie who otherwise wouldn't go.

Fans of L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind, just to name a few. I'm looking forward to seeing him in this role.

I think he's an excellent screen actor ... I just hope he can sing well enough.

EDIT: One thing, though ... I do question the mustache and goatee. Would that have been "regulation" back then?
