Well, there has been a lot of Lincoln love going around lately.
And those studio execs need to get over themselves. Reading between the lines I see a bunch of wannabes upset because they won't be able to "fix" projects like they'd like to.

He's a fantastic actor and he sort of looks like him in a way.
