I loved the movie "The Doors".... its arguably Val Kilmer's best performance... and now to Snowden..... consistency is a virtue that isn't common in most professions, esp in showbiz. So personally, I'm in awe of the ones who've had a long run and have made quality movies, done quality work for the most part.
