Despite how hard I try, I cannot seem to remember the first time I saw John Malkovich in a film.
My gut is telling me it was probably Con Air, but as I dig deeper, I realize I have sadly only seen (as of this writing) thirteen of his films (I’m a tad embarrassed to reveal some of the essential ones I have yet to see). Even so, it does not take many of his films (and I imagine his work on the stage) to see that he is more than just a solid talent. He has a unique quirkiness about him in his manner and delivery that is hard for me to put my finger on, yet is never dull. That is why his work in Wild Horse Nine is so darn good.
