That saddens me, as I feel I am the same size as PSH.
It's not his size, it's his presence.

There should be a fourth category for load-bearing.

Lead. The film is about the conflict between Sister Aloysius and Father Flynn.

Arguing that Hoffman supporting is basically like trying to argue that Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire is a supporting actor because his character does not have as much screentime as Vivien Leigh.

Which do you think is the most accurate category classification for the role of Father Flynn in Doubt?

"Cruelty might be very human, and it might be cultural, but it's not acceptable." - Jodie Foster
