Oliver Platt
15 films · 5 series
Three archive texts name Oliver Platt in three different films for one and the same function: he occupies the likeable or the funny place in them. Nina Caplan puts him among the least frightening Spanish inquisitors ever played, in Dangerous Beauty. Richard Kelly describes his Ben in Simon Birch as thoroughly endearing, a straight-faced buffoon who wins hearts by bringing a stuffed armadillo to dinner. Jamie Graham, on another film, says the best line goes to his professor of mythology.
