he is a great 'facial actor', as I put it.

I have used that courtroom scene in A Few Good Men to illustrate what I think the difference between a good actor is and a great actor. You have Tom Cruise who is saying all the words just fine but has little emotion on his face. Then you have Jack who is acting with every inch of his body..veins are popping out of his neck, etc. I could have the sound off and pretty much get the gist of his part of the exchange but wouldn't have a clue what Cruise was saying.
