Does anyone know what happened to this guy? I was watching "Last of the Mohicans" the other night (Great movie) and wondered where the hell he's been. He hasn't been in any other movies lately to my knowledge. Anybody know?

he is real into the whole "method acting" thing. This means he tries to live the life of his character before a movie is shot. For "The Boxer" he trained for 3 years and actually fought in the British amature circuit. For last of the Mohicans he carried around that big-ass rifle wherever he during the filming (i.e, lunch break, to porta potty, to bed), so it would feel natural on screen. He doubtless is immersing himself in some lifestyle for his next movie.

The last movie I saw him in was 'The Boxer'.

Hugh is right about the method acting.. I remember reading that during the filming for 'My Left Foot' he spent the entire time in a wheelchair, even using a bag to piss in.

You know what will happen if he ever has to play a gay man


Would be cool if he ever had the part of a bodybuilder or football player. I bet the scrawny bastard would be injecting 5 grams a week for two years straight to "get into the right frame of mind."
