Michael Shannon finds stardom in lost souls

Michael Shannon finds stardom in lost souls

Story by Colin Covert McClatchy Tribune

Michael Shannon has quietly become one of the most interesting and original actors of his era. Climbing a ladder of indie gems, he’s established himself as the natural heir to Christopher Walken, but with a jolt of broad-shouldered menace. He can take your head off in roles as diverse as Ashley Judd’s deranged lover in “Bug” or glam-rock enfant terrible Kim Fowley in “The Runaways.”

Review: Actor Michael Shannon is chillingly effective in 'The Iceman'

Story by Colin Covert McClatchy Tribune

“The Iceman,” directed and co-written by Ariel Vromen, is a cold, calculating, viscerally effective portrait of a contract killer. It’s as if one of the sideline characters from “Goodfellas” or “The Godfather” starred in his own spinoff.
