I liked him in True Lies.
Yea but has he done anything good since?
That movie is a real curiosity. It shows Tom Arnold turning in a decent performance - AND it is the only modern action film that comes close to depicting Islamic terrorists accurately.
On the first point, all I can do is assume that the director was very patient with Tom. On the second point, I guess the "memo" on how Hollywood was to depict Muslims had not yet gone out.
