"It’s time to move Hal Holbrook off the Oscar bubble and into the fold. The 84-year-old actor delivers arguably the performance of his career in That Evening Sun, director Scott Teems’s terrific adaptation of the William Gay short story “I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down.” Holbrook plays Abner Meecham, a Tennessean banished by his lawyer son (Walton Goggins) to a...

What woman would want an attractive, young, popular, brooding actor when they could have me, a celebrity blogger who works in his underwear and whose pale skin burns at the first hint of sunlight. I mean, I’m practically a vampire already....

Making 'Into the Wild' gave the actor something he needed -- confidence. Now, he has star billing. It took Hal Holbrook more than 40 years, but he's finally starting to feel comfortable acting in movies -- and he has Sean Penn to thank for that.

In his latest project, Ang...
