Jerno: Thanks so much for pointing out that quote from the interview! I thought the same as you. He does have a great presence onscreen. He has a way of making you notice him in a scene, without taking anything away from his scene-mates. It's not the "look at me! look at me!" kind of screen presence that some actors have. It's much subtler; I'm not sure how he does it. It's awe-inspiring to me.
And I join you in being thankful he listened to the calling he felt to be an actor. We're all richer for that choice he made.
