All About this Star

Filmography:

He's played some of the most fascinating characters of recent times: the Christ-like Sgt Elias in Platoon, the disgraceful Bobby Peru in Wild At Heart, Jesus in The Last Temptation Of Christ, the deformed and suspicious Caravaggio in The English Patient, the bloodsucking film star Max Shreck in Shadow Of The Vampire, and The Green Goblin in Spider-Man.
