    Completely forgot he was in The English Patient, it was on BBC last night. That was in 1996 so I am surprised it didn't lead to further movie roles for him as he had more screen time than I thought and he was quite good in it.

    I think around this time he was battling drug and alcohol addictions so I imagine that's why he didn't land any major roles. He is a very good actor though.

    Crikey, didn't know that. Seems he missed out when his marketability was at it's peak so.

    Saw a picture of him in the paper on Saturday with Jodie Foster from "The Brave One" which is on tv this week. He is killed at the beginning of the film....
