William H. Macy has taken on the role of Bernie Lootz in The Cooler. Bernie is a Las Vegas loser who has such bad luck that he is a paid by, Alec Baldwins character of a casino owner, to suck the good luck from a gambler who is winning. It isnt until Bernie finds true love in a young cocktail waitress, played by Maria Bello, that his luck turns around. Good luck is good for Bernie and his new love but starts to ruin Baldwins casino. Now Bernie must figure out a way to get them out of Las Vegas...
that's kind of like good old bobby de niro. and benny affleck. great guys! you dudes really need to get an interview with Affleck on here, that would be cool to the max.
One of my old art teachers had the chance to converse with him on videotape for a while at one of the sundance film festivals. I thought it was pretty cool, I was all, "Hey! Taht's the dude from Fargo! You bet'cha, eh?" And there was much rejoicing. Yayyyy.
Yeah he's so gifted. It's a pleasure to watch him take on a role. Bernie Lootz should be no different. He tore it up in Fargo, Magnolia as Quiz Kid Donnie Smith and was masterful in Boogie Nights. Door to Door wasn't dark like some of his loser roles, it was charming.
