That man(Paul Dano) is going to get his Oscar someday! Mark my words!!

[@fruityxoxo1991]

I said this to him and he was like you are way too nice. I literally died. I was like Dude you will get an AWARD. Fkg PRISONERS had me shaking.....

[@sirjohnlegion2691]

Yeah that was a great movie. I'm an actor too and I thought he was awesome in "There will be blood" too. I mean dude went toe2toe with the GOAT Daniel Day-Lewis and his performance still stood out! Paul is Severely underrated. I'm looking forward to seeing "Swiss Army Man".

[@sirjohnlegion2691]

Paul Dano is unforgettable. I can still remember the scene in Taking Lives, he was so innocent in the beginning and then boooom... I'm not going to tell what the scene is, if you havent seen it yet, go watch it.

[@donnythompson408]

The first time I saw him was in “There Will Be Blood”, and I was mesmerized at his performance - which is really saying something, when you consider that Daniel Day Lewis was in the lead role. I remember thinking at the time that Dano was definitely going to be one of those actors who would be set apart from the “typical” crop of dramatic actors, one of those select few who don’t come along everyday... (I felt the same way about Phillip Seymour Hoffman, RIP). I liked the Love And Mercy movie “okay”... though I felt that the scenes where Dano portrayed the younger Brian were far better than the scenes set in later years with John Cusack portraying the older Brian. I think it would have been more interesting to use makeup effects to age Paul Dano, than to use a completely different actor to play the older Brian Wilson. IMHO.
