Role: 

Talk Radio

A Dallas talk radio host discovers that his skill for pushing people's buttons has won him a chance for national syndication. But instead of celebrating, he pushes his friends, co-workers and audience to the limit. Eric Bogosian turns his stage play into a movie which delivers the goods left and right. Fierce, insane, brusingly humorous and very well acted indeed. Bogosian goes out in a blaze of glory, lacing his peformance with everything he's got. A true Oliver Stone (The Doors, Alexander) tour de force in full bloom. Also starring Ellen Greene (Pump Up The Volume), John C.

24: Season 1

Such a simple idea--yet so fiendishly complex in the execution. 24, as surely everyone knows by now, is a thriller that takes places over 24 hours, midnight to midnight, in 24 one-hour episodes (well, 45-minute episodes if you subtract the commercials). Everything takes place in real time, which means no flashbacks, no flash-forwards, no handy time-dissolves. Every strand of the plot has to be dovetailed and interlocked so things happen just when they should, in the right amount of time. Not that easy.
