>>>He had so many great roles, too many to name. He made another pretty good pool movie later on and got some honest acting out of Tom Cruise.

>Right you are. And FWIW I hated that movie - Tom Cruise was so smarmy and smug. If you compare his character with young Fast Eddie in "The Huster" (and the overall tone of the two movies) the difference is really pronounced (though in fairness I watched The Color of Money recently and didn't hate it as much - maybe this time I let Mary Elizabeth Mastroantonnio get to me ;-)

I think his best performance was as Sully in Nobody's Fool. He will always be Butch Cassidy though.
