  where he "does drama" rather convincingly; a film with Bruce Dern and Isabelle Adjani
  Very sparse dialog and the best car chases on film bar none
  I thought he was an appalling miscast for Barry Lyndon tho'; just don't know how Kubrick could have done that
  Richard Chamberlain (Ken Russels;The Music Lovers) would have been my choice for that role

    I don't agree he was miscast - I think that was a masterstroke by Kubrick. Ryan had right texture to make the role believable, and apparently Kubrick kept him under tight control, not asking to deliver more than Ryan could, so the overall result is very awarding and his dumbness shows just the right amount... I think.

    Kunrick chose him for his Irish looks and his ability to affect the "lilt" of the language, something I think he does effectively.
