Role: 

The Impostors

Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt wreak havoc and hilarity on the high seas in this "sublimely silly comedy" (People Magazine) that reunites the incredible cast of "Big Night".

Christian Slater plays Finch, a forger who's having an identity crisis.

The Last Samurai

While Japan undergoes tumultuous transition to a more Westernized society in 1876-77, The Last Samurai gives epic sweep to an intimate story of cultures at a crossroads. In America, tormented Civil War veteran Capt. Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise) is coerced by a mercenary officer (Tony Goldwyn) to train the Japanese Emperor's troops in the use of modern weaponry. Opposing this "progress" is a rebellion of samurai warriors, holding fast to their traditions of honor despite strategic disadvantage.
