    ... on Stephen Colbert last night. Might've been a re-run, so this might be old news - but he was on to discuss his new movie, Che, and under his suit jacket, he was wearing a faded black Trail Blazers t-shirt.

    They didn't say anything about the Blazers, but still begins to beg the question - are the Blazers becoming hip? Or was it just a fluke?

    He shot a movie here a couple years ago( can't remember the name), maybe he picked it up back then.

    Don't know him. Is he Spanish? Maybe he's a big fan of Rudy?

    He's Puerto Rican, but I hadn't thought of the Spanish connection. Maybe he is a Rudy & Sergio fan.

    He's been in a bunch of movies - some of them were really, really good. 21 Grams was critically acclaimed (and I agreed was really good). But I've got a soft spot for his character in The Usual Suspects. "Wha the fuh?"

    Almost makes up for the debacle that is known as The Hunted.

    The Usual Suspects is in my Top Ten movies of all-time. Incredible character acting, a solid crime story, and a twist that I never saw coming the first time I watched the movie.

    Yeah, The Usual Suspects is fantastic. Note to self: watch again. Of course, now I watch it looking for signs of "the twist" throughout, until it's finally revealed.

    I saw the rerun of that on tv today, but it was after he was introduced and I couldn't figure out who he was. Nice!

    When he was filming the hunted with tommy lee jones I saw them sitting courtside at a blazer spurs game. Maybe he was hiding his blazers love from texan tommy lee jones.

    Yep, he won a Oscar for that as a Best Actor in a Supporting Role. He also got nominated for 21 Grams.
