The 1st movie of Emile's that I saw was LODT. I have to say the only thing that I noticed about Emile was that he kind of reminded me of Kurt Cobain (looks wise), but that was it and I never gave the guy another thought after that.
Crazy, I know right?
The film that did it for me was ITW and to be honest, I didn't watch the movie for Emile. I watched it because Sean Penn's name was attached to it and by that alone I knew that I wasn't going to be disappointed.
Anyways, not unlike most of you, I was blown away with Emile's performance and was instantly turned into a fan.
I'm glad that I did discover Mr. Hirsch even if I am late in doing so.
