Paul Giamatti is an incredible actor that has rarely gotten awards attention he deserved. He has proven that he can portray diverse range of characters. As someone that shared powerful bond with my school teachers, I loved his performance in “The Holdovers”. Here’s my review of that film: https://huilahimovie.reviews/2023/11/29/the-holdovers-2023-movie-review/
Giamatti is such a gifted Actor, and for much of his career very under-appreciated…my wife and I just watched “Private Parts” again and he is brilliant as the Radio General Manager who tries to reign in Howard Stern…every scene is priceless!
