I agree that he seems to have gotten lucky in that he gets to just play himself—reflective, gloomy in a charming way, subdued. Then again I don't know the guy personally. His little mini-speeches might seem 'amateur,' sure, but it works okay. Funny for you to suggest he reads DFW; I wonder. You give the guy a lot of credit, someone should just go ahead and ask him! Nice post. I thought Gibbard was good enough in the film, though in fairness the role didn't really require much.
