But that need to take on a role that allowed him to embrace something different is an admirable quality. This comedic form made for some incredible film performances from the young RDJ. The effect creates an almost sinister edge to an otherwise wry performance. It was this intense relationship that caused me to get so excited when watchingTropic Thunderfor the first time.
