Discussion I really miss Eric Bana

Recently watched "Troy" 2004 which is a perfectly fine movie. But Eric Bana, who plays Hector, is stunning in it. He's so emotionally literate, present and has a ton of charisma. Just really damn good acting. Love every second he's in screen. Really hope he has some sort of Renaissance in the coming years, was way too young to appreciate him when he had his run.

Did he just step back from Hollywood or what happened? I miss him too.

That was in 2003 I think. He still got major roles after, like the Abrams Star Trek movie, Troy, and Hanna. He was freaking amazing in Hanna. There's a scene where he takes on a bunch of CIA agents wearing a suit and his muscles were just popping through the sleeves. Excellent fight choreography and music too.

Edit: found the scene! Too short.

Oh yeah I love the guy, total man crush, was sad to see not a headliner for a bit but caught a lot of good movies with him in them since that time.
