Bale is becoming one of my favorite actors. Anyone who hasn’t seen The Machinist yet, check it out. He made it before Batman begins, and he had to become emaciated for the role. And then he had to bulk back up for Batman. It’s pretty amazing.
I hate to sound like a stalker, but I have seen all but 3 or 4 of his movies and I think he has been in 20 or 25 movies. You need to watch” Equilibrium”, “3:10 to Yuma” and “the Prestige” as well.
