We go into some of the weirder stuff he did as a kid, when he lived in the shadow of his amazing brother(R.I.P.). We go from him as one of the late 90s prettiest heart throbs, to the time he tried to be the weirdest Roman emperor ever and kill Russell Crowe, up through doing acid with an Affleck and pissing everybody off. We dive deep into him crystalizing into one of the most interesting and beloved actors who takes on and crushes the coolest roles. It’s time to take on L. Ron and wear some clown make up with Nick and Alex. Welcome to the Blockbuster Film School!
