Can it be that Angels in the Outfield is not actually the masterpiece I think it is? JGL is a Serious Actor now, but articles about his career always seem to omit that film. (Including this one.)
Brick, Mysterious Skin, 500 Days, etc. are all well and good, but not a one of those roles have made quite the impression on me that Angels’ Roger did. To me, JGL is still the little boy praying for his dad, Dermot Mulroney, to come back so they can be a family again.
Fun fact: Mulroney went on to star in The Wedding Date, in which he played a male escort. JGL played a male prostitute in Mysterious Skin! The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, apparently.
