You weren't lucky enough to see him whimper for the camera once or twice for about twenty seconds in Mallick's three hour "Thin Red Line"?

Oh yeah, I forgot that one, that's a very cool film.
Does he have a line in that, I can't remember...

Off hand I cannot remember (though I'm sure someone will be nice enough to fill us in).  I do know that he had a handful more before Mallick's six hour cut became three hours (I'd kill someone to get a copy of that work print).  I remember reading something (that was probably exagerrating a bit) that related that before the big cuts Brody was convinced he had one of the lead parts in the film.  

I read the book and his was a really neat character (w/ shades of homosexuality, infurtiating cowardice and, soon after, what some refer to as "the little man complex").  

Good actor, great film...

That's amazing!
Richie the weirdo, a gay soldier and Wladislav Szpílman. Now that's reinvention.

Email or pm me if you ever get a copy of that, jokerspath.
