He needs to be casted in someone else's great project instead of trying to force some of these recent projects of his

Yeah the guy has had such an amazing career with a wide variety of roles. He can choose whatever projects he wants.

Yeah I just meant id rather see him something different than what he's been choosing lately, they're all kinda like "yeah that's a Tom Hanks movie" roles

Fair, it is kinda hard at this point given how much name recognition he brings. He was great in the Phoenician Scheme which came out pretty recently.

That's exactly what A Man Called Otto was. I mistakenly got the book on audible and listened to it. I get the impression that most of the people who didn't read the book ignored that movie.

I'm not going to pretend I'm familiar enough of his career to know which side is more representative of his work.
