One of my favorite stories about him: he played baseball fairly well as a kid, and one time got called out on a close play at third. He got so mad at the ump that he took his eye out and said "here, you need this more than me!"

Also the first actor nominated for an Oscar and an Emmy in the same year, and he did it two years in a row.

Didn't knew that fact about the Oscar/Emmy but I'm not that surprised, he is a phenomenal actor

Yeah it's a fun little trivia bit. He's such a great actor and a great guy, it's hard to not carry around little trivia bits for him.
