There are some more I'm having trouble thinking of. Please guys, feel free to leave me suggestions.

I thought Harry Connick Jr. did a great job in both Copycat and Hope Floats.

Yeah, especially Copycat. Thanks for that one Min.

May I suggest Dwight Yoakam in Sling Blade. Also, I think Ice Cube was really cool in Surviving the Game.

jblack04/07/2001

Yeah, Yoakam was good. I'll add him. It was Iced Tea in Surviving The Game not Ice Cube.

Oops. Wasn't thinking.

Actually it was Ice-T not Iced Tea. Big difference there!

Thanks Dan for the insight.

Tom Waits comes to mind. My favorite Tom Waits performance is his interpretation of Renfield in "Bram Stoker's Dracula". But there are certainly others, including his prisoner on-the-lam in "Down by Law" and his pacifist weapons supplier in "Mystery Men". (Remember, you said great performances, not great movies...)

Tom Waits was also good in Short Cuts also.
