The actor also garnered an Oscar nomination for essaying the role of a drunkard father in Martin Ritt drama Cross Creek opposite Mary Steenburgen in 1984. Known for giving kickass interviews, in 2006, he told New York Times, "Don't they say they have a volatile temper and emotions? Yeah, sure they do! They're not saying they like a nice mild guy. Look at Sean Penn."
