Greg Allman was such a horrible thug in a move I watched ages ago... I won't even call him an actor... They just dressed him up to look big and ugly gave him one word to speak.... and arranged it (in the move) so he got shot.. As much as I respect Greg as a musician... An actor he's not.. Unless Roger Daltrey has improved similar sentiments there too...LOL.

I'd love to see JT act. I'd imagine that given his tough background, he has the makings of a fabulous actor assuming he wished to apply himself... Never saw or heard of him acting prior to this.... Interesting though... Maybe like Robin Williams the next dramatic actor to amaze us ? Who knows.
