so what do you guys think about him? i think he's a great actor, namely in "Boys Don't Cry" and "Shattered Glass," and i'm looking forward to seeing him in "Garden State." Plus: he's dating Maggie Gyllenhaal, which raises him a couple notches on my scoreboard.
I like this guy. He was in a very underrated movie imo. Desert Blue. as well as boys don't cry and the upcoming garden state. haven't seen Shattered Glass or GS yet. But regardless. I like this guy, especially in Desert Blue.
Saarsgard is one of my favorite new actors; he's been excellent in everything he's been in, and his range is pretty amazing (e.g. Boys Don't Cry vs. everything else he's been in). His work on Shattered Glass was particularly good, and it's too bad he didn't get more recognition for it.
Desert Blue was a very good movie, but almost no one saw it, and then director Morgan J Freeman followed it up with American Psycho 2. Go figure.
he has a cool sounding name ..it rolls off the tongue nicely......
and yes, hes a good actor....

Gyllenhaal, Sarsgaard Engaged
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard are engaged and expecting a baby, her publicist said Tuesday.
It will be the first marriage for both actors, Gyllenhaal's representative, Amanda Silverman, said Tuesday. No other information was released.
The couple have been dating for four years.
Screen credits for the 28-year-old Gyllenhaal include roles in Oliver Stone's upcoming "World Trade Center," "Mona Lisa Smile," "Secretary" and "Donnie Darko," co-starring her brother, Jake Gyllenhaal.
Sarsgaard, 35, starred alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in last year's war drama "Jarhead." His screen credits also include "Boys Don't Cry," "Shattered Glass" and "Kinsey."
That kid is going to have one hell of a blank expression.

yeah.
Czar's guard's performance in Shat-Glass is underpraised, as are 7E and the movie itself. Even Anakin was alright.

What are the other four? :wink:
By the way, Sarsgaard is a serious ass-kicker in everything I've seen him in. Not only do I see an Oscar in his future but also a solid place in film history. He's great.
For the longest time I honestly thought Sarsgaard was gay. But then I found out he knocked up Maggie Gylenhaal, so I guess I don't have that gay-dar. But yes he is an excellent actor, great work in films of course, and also, I thought he was one of the best Saturday Night Live hosts of the last few years. He has some true comedic talent, and stole many moments (opposed to the host usually playing straight man).
His opening monologue he mentioned how he had previously played creepy characters and wondered why people thought him to be creepy in real life. The camera zooms in, ominous music plays. Sarsgaard: (incredibly creepily) "I Haven't the foggiest.."
Another scene he plays a target employee on his break, saying it's his "best break ever." Enjoying his specialty coffee: "It actually gets better as it gets colder.." halarious.
And he's a guest speaker at a pirate convention, only because of his name. "SAARRRRSGAAARRRRD!" The pirates yell. He asks them if they even know who he is and they admit they don't, so he lists some of his movies: "I was in Jarhead.." "JAAAAARRRRRRHEAD!," "Garden State.." "GAAARRRRRDEN STATE!!!" "Boys Don't Cry..." "....eh...ARRRR"
:bravo:

Maybe you need a Peter Sarsgaard SARS guard (the only SARS guard with Peter Sarsgaard's face on it!).
i like Peter Sarsgaard and would never use him or his likeness as a human-SARS guard, thanks.

The screenplay calls for the characters of Arthur (not to be confused with Art) and Cleveland Arning to be consolidated into one, played by Mr. Sarsgaard. An actor who effortlessly moves between indie and mainstream movies, Mr. Sarsgaard last year was seen in "Jarhead," "Flightplan," "The Skeleton Key" and "The Dying Gaul."
