I'm addicted to Bloodline. Ben's character, Danny, is so multi layered. I can't help but like the character, even though he is on ' a mission' to wreak havoc on his family, and even out old scores. He plays the part of a man damaged by his childhood perfectly.
Bloodline is the first time I've seen Ben act and his portrayal of Danny Rayburn is first rate! The downside to watching Bloodline is waiting for new episodes!
The "Big Steal" Ben's first lead role. Very fun movie. Plus Ben plays a good guy which he was cast as in a lot of his earlier work. I'm so happy to see him finally shaking things up in the US. He has always been such a great actor. The best is yet to come!
The first thing I saw him in was Mississippi River, I thought he was amazing in it, then Star Wars and Churchill where he was amazing as well, so I'll be watching everything else he's been in when I have the time. The guy is a brilliant actor.
I grew up in the 80s and first saw him in The Year My Voice Broke, an Australian film with Noah Taylor who is also a fantastic actor. Do yourself a favor and watch it. It is still my favorite film and is even free on RU-vid right now.
I watched this back in 2017 after seeing and liking him in Rogue One, nice to see him in more stuff like the MCU. I also remembered him in The Dark Knight Rises as John Daggett.
There has never been such a multi layered character that you follow on a journey that you can’t help but feel for good bad or indifferent he plays the worst acts in such a way you can’t help but to understand where’s hes coming from
I just started watching Bloodline just by name, it's cut out for the part, I saw it on "Mississippi grind", "The Land of Steady Habits" & "Kill them softly" on all of them, perfect. It's kind of John Cazale. They are those roles of problematic types, victims of circumstances, addicts. He is my new favorite actor.
He's killing me. Why do I find him so impressive? Here's what's odd. I was sitting in the theatre watching Rogue One. I have no idea he's in it as I never followed him, ever, before now. Yet, when his Director first comes on screen I said, "Ahhh. There he is." I mean, I had seen him in ONE film over twenty years before, "Cosi", but that was only because I was a Toni Collette fan after seeing her in "Muriel's Wedding". Back to Ben---and I find he's in "Bloodline" on Netflix. I watched it three times in a row, and then everything else on Netflix in which he appeared. He's the best actor going today.
