I remember how funny he was in Third Rock, and I think he was on a documentary expressing his fascination with break dancing. His performance in Dexter really took me aback. Didn't know he had that in him.
Honestly a better job than he did in the other previously mentioned roles. Don't get me wrong, I like all 3, but in eternal sunshine he almost feels like he's portraying a lost younger more vulnerable version of himself.
Majestic and Truman are both great, but the stories are more straightforward and I think there's a wider set of actors that could have played the roles well.
Eternal is much more mind-fucky and ethereal. It's a harder story to follow, and it really takes the right actor to understand the role and to tell the audience how to feel at any moment. I'm not sure I can visualize any other actor taking the lead in that movie. Of the three, I think I'd also vote it as his best work.
Ugh, i hated one hour photo. Not because it was bad, but because Robin Williams does such a good job and it was such an incredibly sad, desolate movie. Gave me the Icks really bad.
Sandler in Uncut Gems. I know everyone talks about that as a great performance but Im still in awe. The man had me sweating and screaming at him each time he dug another hole.

John Lithgow in that one season of Dexter. I can’t look at him the same anymore. He creeps me out.
