I dunno, he's weird as fuck, but he can turn in interesting performances because of that. Could work.
I thought he was great at playing a creepy megalomaniac in Blade Runner 2049
Absolutely. And as a creepy sycophant in fight club.
Okay, so he mainly does creepy and crazy well lol.
That's only partially a joke, but he did start out doing melodrama on tv, and did well. Did great in requiem for a dream as his first real lead.
He does method and takes it too far, and he really does specialize in roles that are what you might call bat-shit crazy, with a bat-shit crazy movie as an exception in his supporting roles when he plays normal.
But I can't really say he screws up many of the roles. Even the notorious joker turn was in a badly written movie that edited out most of what he did.
Playing Jared Leto works for Jared Leto.
His best role was in American Psycho cuz Christian Bale kills him.
He is also great in Fight Club where Edward Norton beats him to a pulp.
Lmao! Dark, but hilarious
