Whoa! I was just trying for a zinger on the apparent flavor-of-the-month;
I had no idea he'd done anything but "extreme" films. My apologies to
Diesel for a hasty judgment!
I'm leery of anything hard-marketed as "extreme," (it all seems like
overblown Sprite commercials to me) and I guess I just threw him on the pile
with all the rest. Which character was he in Saving Private Ryan (not his
name, but for which scene might he be best remembered)?
Dave!
