He's a fine, under-appreciated actor. And very good here as 'mountain man' Hank Chambers, head of the wilderness survival program. But it is a very young Dermot Mulroney that steals the show. He ...             Quiz Show John Turturro, Rob Morrow Walt Disney Video, 1999 TIP OF THE ICEBERG Considering the quality of this film, one would think that it should have won more awards,more acclaim.

He's ...             Animal Farm Kelsey Grammer, Ian Holm Lions Gate, 2000 Animal Farm My ninth grade students are required to read Animal Farm.
