Does Josh Brolin EVER not play a schmuck?

[Hello_Kitty]

I mean, he does fine job of it and all, but still. I just saw American Gangster on HBO and, sure enough, Josh Brolin playing a schmuck.

1. I just saw Milk last week.

And there he was...

6. If you haven't seen American Gangster, I'm going to spoil this part for you:

He shoots a dog in it.

8. Yikes!! Thanks for the heads up!

You're right! He is a schmuck!!

[EastTennesseeDem]

9. He does the exact same thing in No Country For Old Men

That's what I call range.

A schmuck shooting a dog.

Yeah.

2. even in the Goonies he was

sort of. :shrug:

3. he was a good guy in his tv series

I don't remember the name of the show, but he played a reluctant senator... sort of a Mr. Smith goes to Washington thing. I thought it was a pretty good show, but was quickly canceled.

4. Finally saw his portrayal of the Chimp last night.

He did a reasonably good job, but I thought they were way too easy on the bastard.

5. Yeah I dunno what got into Oliver Stone

But he really missed it on that one.

7. He was great in No Country For Old Men. Maybe a little schmucky!

10. I rooted for him in No Country for Old Men

He managed to stay one step ahead of the evilest hitman in the Universe for quite a while. And he shot the pitbull that was about to rip his throat out. Seemed justified to me.
