He should've won that year. I've always liked him.

Have you seen any extras on the Platoon DVD? They interview many of the cast members. Johnny Depp is sooooooooooo darn young, he looks about 14 in this movie. Tom is very nice and warm and Willem Dafoe is just great. "The next morning I opened the curtains in my hotel room and I saw the revolution had started!"
They had to change the location.
Oh yes, I would love to see more of sgt Barnes, too

Yes, do, they are extremely interesting and I love all the interviews. The cast is so awesome. Even Charlie Sheen whom I do not like usually was very good. I don't know whose idea it was to cast Tom in the sgt Barnes role but it was a brilliant piece of casting! Another great example of finding an exact match for the role is Vinnie Jones in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. Guy Ritchie was originally thinking of "an actor who is like Vinnie Jones" and somebody suggested him they should ask Vinnie first
. They did and Vinnie accepted the role. Awesome!

Yeah, he is brilliant; however, in the DVD-interviews on Platoon, Oliver Stone described Berenger as having had the image of a rather 'bland, sentimental TV-hero; I really hope he doesn't return to that; saw him in a relatively recent Hallmark production with an amazingly tired-looking Sibyll Shepherd; it was horrible beyond words. I hope he'll never do that again, he's far too good to be doing such 'dime a dozen' parts

No, not only "good" role. It may well be his only brilliant role, but he has other good ones as well. My favorites are Betrayed, Someone To Look Over Me, The Big Chill, Major League and One Man's Hero, to name a few.

Ooooooookkkkkkkaaaaaay can we concentrate on Tom. He didnt play on Platoon Only. This Film was really Cool. The Whole Crew played Fantastic. And somany Actors got Famous through this Film. But when we talk about Tom, then how comes, always Mentioned the one and Only Film Platoon. There are others where he played. Dig?
