The humorous half for me is he says Tom simply performs the identical character, then lists these individuals:
Al Pacino work and Chris Walken and De Niro’s early work and Richard Harris’s work and Ray Winstone’s work. That’s the sort of actor I wish to be like. Monty Clift and Brando again within the day.
These aren’t the names I might have gone with (besides Clift perhaps). I might have gone with Daniel Day Lewis, Gary Oldman, Dustin Hoffman, Phillip Seymore Hoffman…It is fascinating that he is picked a bunch of people that play “powerful guys”.
