I always see him as a cocky SOB. Not a bad thing in his case though. I did like him in Burn After Reading however when he played the mental midget.

Why do you think you feel that way? Accounts from other actors paint him as a very down-to-earth guy.

I keep picturing him in Oceans 11,12,13 with George Clooney. Don't get me wrong, I love him as an actor and a person off stage, but I just can't shake his cocky persona from those movies.
