As Jennifer Sees It

I always said I needed a...

Yes folks thats right! Eric Bana has been named by Vanity Fair as

The Man's Man

THE MAN'S MAN

:: Eric Bana, Actor. ::

::Nine films. ::

Eric Bana has the face and musculature of the ideal action-oriented leading man. As a former stand-up comic and sketch-comedy TV star in his native Australia, he also has the chops to play the kind of wisecracking, gun-toting hero that made huge stars out of Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford. But Bana has a tougher route. When he played a comic-book icon, it was in Ang Lee's complex and somewhat head-scratching Hulk (2003). In Steven Spielberg's Munich (2005), he sticks with his difficult pgoram, as the ambivalent avenger Avner Kauffman, a mysterious character who battles himself as he leads a ragtag hit squad out of terminate the men who assassinated 11 Israeli athletes in the 1972 Olympic Games. Utterly convincing in his portrayals of family men who go to war in Black Hawk Down (2001) and Troy (2004), he moves from the battlefield to the gaming tables for Lucky You, the upcoming film from can't-miss directory Curtis Hanson. In this one, Bana plays a cardsharp who faces his own father (Robert Duvall) in the World Series of Poker. We're there.
