well, that's encouraging. but this is a unique role that I don't see him agreeing to try something daring in the near future.

are you saying he has a chance at Oscar for this film? I just think over the next 10 years we see films that will guarantee a BO from TC.

No, i am saying chasing an Oscar is the #1 priority. FWIW, most of the films you cited were not huge box office titles.

Origin story of Jabba the Hut studio exec in Tropic Thunder😊. He was truly transformational & hilarious in that role.

American Made was 9 years back. That's the last film pre-Digger for something that might not have BO appeal.
