Actually, that why I think he's perfect. Zooey is so comical. I
believe he knows he's pumping franny with so much BS he can hardly stand
it sometimes. He did a fine job as Obi Wan considering how much Lucas
killed every actor's performance in the film. I mean do you really think
Portman (The Professional/Beautiful Women), Nieson (Jerry Adams (or
whatever that Irish political flick was called), s.l. Jackson (Pulp
Fiction / Long Kiss Good Night), and McGregor (Brassed Off /
Trainspotting) are THAT bad of actors? I'm convinced Lucas just had too
much control.
But McGregor has the BS self-awareness I think is necessary for Zooey.
As for the Fiene's brother, haven't seen him in anything by period
peices. And I think he's funny looking.
