The Player

Comedy (Tom Oakley)

Tim Robbins plays a paranoid young movie executive who is threatened by a disgruntled screenwriter - until he begins taking the law into his own hands. It's a biting examination of Hollywood's greed and power, directed by Robert Altman. This marks the first time REG got to work with him, the second time being in Prêt-à-Porter. This is a great film, very clever and well written. I enjoyed it immensely. REG plays Tom Oakley, a schmoosey writer/producer who pitches a ridiculous idea for a movie, along with his "partner" Andy Civella, played by Dean Stockwell.

Best REG line: This story is too damned important to risk being overwhelmed by personality.
