You know, I've been lucky with Ben Afflek. I never saw him in on of the flicks that made him infamous; the ones I saw him in had him in character roles, not leading roles, and he was pretty good in those. (Which were precisely three: Dogma (murderous Angel), Shakespeare in Love (Ned Alleyn) and Hollywoodland (George Reeve).

As Good as it Gets: I caught ten minutes of that on tv and had precisely the same reaction.*g*

I do remember Cap und Capper!
