Killer Joe, Glenn’s most cherished role is that of
The Leftovers’ Kevin Garvey, Sr, a former police chief who may or may not be a prophet. In the acclaimed HBO series’ final season, Glenn considers his character’s showcase episode, “Crazy Whitefella Thinking,” to be the answer to so many wishes and dreams,” and that’s saying something for an actor who’s also been a part of
Apocalypse Now,
Silverado. According to Glenn,
The Leftovers co-creator Damon Lindelof captured his voice in a way that only Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts has via
Killer Joe. In retrospect, Glenn is all the more grateful for the role of “Senior” since a disappointing event several years earlier could’ve easily changed the trajectory that led him to

I think most of us can agree that âjarringâ is a pretty good word to sum up 2020 ⦠at least in terms of non-profane words.
For the past few months, I truly believed Iâd seen every astonishing moment the universe could throw at us. But leave it to mid-December end-of-the-world thriller âGreenlandâ to get one more good jab in before the New Year.
It might be hard to believe, but the year is 2020 and Gerard Butler has a lead role in a non-animated movie that isnât terrible.
Review: Greenland focuses on human side of a global disaster
Gerard Butler stars as a husband and father trying to get his family to safety after a comet wipes out most of humanity
In Greenland, a comet from outer space crashes to Earth causing an extinction level event, so it s not quite the holiday pick-me-up as, say, Mariah Carey s Magical Christmas Special.
The best parts of this action epic are the ways in which it scales down and brings its global terror home; in a way, Greenland is a domestic drama in the guise of a disaster movie. It begins with a bang, but a flabby midsection and a few too many unlikely coincidences dull its overall impact.
Those going into the new Gerard Butler disaster movie epic “Greenland” expecting a cartoonish romp along the lines of his previous foray into the genre, the mind-bogglingly idiotic “Geostorm,” are likely to come away from it surprised. And in some cases, a bit annoyed. Instead of the over-the-top spectacle you might rightfully expect from such a project, the film, at least for a good portion of the time, employs an approach that is slightly more grounded than other films of its type. The result is still pretty dopey in spots, but even if it s not worth watching when all is said and done, it s at least a little better than one might assume it to be.
