Some actors just do the work. They don’t care about the red carpets or potential commercial endorsements or campaigning for awards.
We’re sure Clifton Collins, Jr. would enjoy all of those things, but he’s clearly not driven by it. And that’s one reason it’s gratifying to see him earn an Independent Spirit Award for his performance as a legendary horse rider in Clint Bentley’s “Jockey.” A film that has somehow landed more under the radar this awards season then it should have.
