I'm sure a lot of us can relate as a young adult when you connect with an older person outside your family independently for the first time. It's a coming of age process that is not really covered much, which makes the story kind of unique, while still being very real and relatable. Awesome film.

I remember seeing The Green Mile, Galaxy Quest, and Charlie's Angels all within ~2 years of each other and not truly realizing until my senior year of high school when I saw Hitchhiker's Guide they were all him and just being blown away. Sam Rockwell is one of those actors who elevates whatever he is in and completely owns his role. Him saying they were thinking about WF or JC for Hitchhiker's had me thinking I could understand why they might want them, but Sam owns that role and I don't think either of them could have pulled it off how he did.

No mention of 'The Way Way Back'?? He was stellar in that movie. Sam is a powerhouse... He deserves more credit than what he gets (IMO).

Watching him and Frances MacDorman going toe to toe in Three Billboards is one of life's great pleasures. Both were clearly at the top of their game.

The first time I saw Sam Rockwell was in LAWN DOGS. Say what you will about the movie, but I remember thinking he was brilliant in it, and have tried to catch him in everything since. He brings a quirkiness to every project which makes him interesting to watch. A scene stealer.

I think that was the first movie I saw him in too. It was some little indie style movie with Misha Barton.

I was so hoping they would include his roles in “The Way Way Back” and “JoJo Rabbit” TWWB is such a wonderful little movie, totally underrated with a ton of heart, one of my favorites. And my gosh I can’t even watch his performance in JoJo Rabbit and not laugh and cry in the end. Sam Rockwell has an amazing talent for being the irreverent but secretly warmhearted guy, love him!
