My Take
Tony Goldwyn is one of those actors who pulled off the rare trick of being so convincingly hateable that audiences actually worried about him — his Carl Bruner in Ghost (1990) was genuinely chilling, and he scored a Saturn Award nomination for it, which tells you how seriously people took that performance. But then he goes and voices Tarzan for Disney in 1999, bringing this warm, searching quality to the character that made you actually feel the identity crisis underneath all the vine-swinging. The guy studied at Brandeis, came up through theater, directed films — there's a real craftsman's range here that most people overlook because they can't get past how good he was at playing the bad guy. And honestly? That's the highest compliment.
