It would not work. But he was great in The Basketball Diaries. It is a brutal movie, based on a true story. I really recommend it.
It was my understanding that he is filming the lead role in Catch me if you can, which is a GREAT book if you can find it..
I was absolutely shocked when I found out they wanted him. (the lead character looked OLDER than he was, and thus was able to portray himself as a Pan-Am pilot, Doctor, Lawyer, etc..)
