You know those guys that you see on tons of movies, but you just don’t know who they are because they’re never the lead guy? Yeah? Well Bruce Greenwood is one of those, and a damn good one too.
I first really noticed him as the evil husband in Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd. He was just so slick in the role, and personally I thought he made the flick work. Even more impressive was his performance in Kevin Costner’s Thirteen Days where he portrayed John F. Kenedy during the Cuban missile crisis. I thought it was a brilliant film (and I know most people disagree with me on that) and Greenwood carried the whole stinking picture on his back. Right now you can catch him as the world richest man in I, Robot.
I’d really like to see him get some solid lead roles, but the reality is it’ll never happen. He’s probably just a bit too old to pull off the “Leading Man” thing. But who cares. He’s got a great career going and apparently more work than you can shake a stick at. Keep goin Bruce.
