Rory Cochrane (204 words)
Rory Cochrane has only been in a handful of movies between 1991 and 2000, and only one, Dazed and Confused, has given him the exposure he deserves.
More often than not, Rory has been the best part of some very bad movies, such as Empire Records, which was almost worth watching simply because of his performance as droll record store employee Lucas.
Cochrane also gave great performances in the little-seen but critically acclaimed The Low Life, and as psychotic Billy Mack Black in Love and a.45, a "killers on the road movie" superior to Natural Born Killers but lost in its wake.
