Paul Giamatti sees everything!

pages 82-83

Paul Giamatti is the thinking man's Nicolas Cage.  Both are known to appear in nearly every kind of movie, across the spectrum, from Oscar-bait dramas to B-movie cheesefests; they seem to have very open minds or no standards when it comes to scripts.  They also are both known for utterly committing to the material they're given, no matter how insane the words coming out of their mouths may sound.  The only difference is the quality of output; in Giamatti's case, more often than not, he's the best part of the movie - even when he's in good movies.
