Agree, I thought The Sessions was a great film with a lot of really great performances. Another great performance by Hawkes was in a film called Martha Marcy May Marlene in which he plays a cult leader. The younger sister of the Olsen twins does an excellent job as well.

I think the guy is a lot like William H. Macy, in that he has a ton of range and never appears to phone it in, but is never going to be leading guy material because of his looks and physique.
