Dove" was the anomaly. The Pacino-style overactor of "The Apostle" and pretty much every other role since is the "real" Bobby. In other words, if there's a sprig about, he'll chew on it.
American acting has "evolved" to the point wherein actors search for the defining moment in the script (nicely provided by screenwriters who know who makes decisions) or else they invent it: a few minutes when they can go red in the face, bulge a few neck veins, and "act."
You know how it is painful to see a child's behavior change when it knows it has an audience? Same with bad actors. Everything is exaggerated. The audience can fall asleep, all the pieces of the personality will be thrown at you like shit at a wall.
