58!!This actor provides examples of the following tropes:
59
60* CreatorCouple: With his wife Creator/MaggieGyllenhaal. The two performed in ''Theatre/UncleVanya'' and ''Theatre/ThreeSisters'' on stage together.
61* SheCleansUpNicely: Male version. He's capable of ping-ponging all over the attractiveness spectrum depending on the role, and can look ''very'' dapper when the situation calls for it, as the image above shows.
62* StarMakingRole: ''Film/ShatteredGlass''.
