Beat me to it. He was awesome in this movie.

As a matter of fact, I was (and still am) surprised that this movie went so unnoticed. In my opinion it was a very good movie, deserving much more attention than it did.

Any of you guys saw Gregory attending some gala where Sammy Davis Jr. was honoured. They both took the stage and performed a kind of a tap dance duel. WTFG to both of them.

RIP Gregory :(

White Nights... duh!

Can't trust a lib with anything... They'll take a innocent title like "White Nights" and spin it into a militaristic, agressive "White Knights".

It's Bush' fault...

I thought his best acting performance was in Off Limits with Willem Dafoe.

His best roll was in History of the World Pt. One.  Or that movie he made with Billy Chrystal. :)
