I love how he is not ashamed or in denial for his rom-com roles. This man is so iconic. And takes those interviews really serious. No goofing around with Matthew.

Dang, they skipped a bucket load of great movies. Mud, Lincoln Lawyer, Wolf of Wall Street, Tropic Thunder, freaking Interstellar.

Currently watching True Detective for the first time and oh my gosh this man is great! I don’t think I’ve ever truly paid attention to him as a serious actor, but I have a new respect for him.

The first time I saw Matthew was in the video for "Walkaway Joe" by Trisha Yearwood featuring Don Henley. The first time I saw him in a movie, I fell in love with his voice. That's my "Rhett" sound!! Be still my heart!!
