Sleep with Me (1994)
Stolz - believable
One of my favorite Stoltz characters is the gritty Joseph in Sleep with Me. Although he is raw and sometimes hard to love because of his `ogling', Stoltz gives him a believable personality creating a lot of mixed feelings between Sarah, Frank and himself. Great one-liners and generation dialogue in this film creates a fast, interesting, funny and real experience. One realizes Joseph's tender side as he watches his wife become giddy at Franks confessions...`Honey, I'm getting ready to cloud up and rain all over you'... An interesting bit of info... the couch used in Frank's apartment looks exactly like the loveseat Bridget Fonda's character in Bodies, Rest & Motion gave Sid, the painter Eric Stoltz.
Chicago Hope (1994)
Bravo, Chicago Hope -- Stoltz is a winner...
Dr. Robert Yeats has graced the set of Chicago Hope this season --- how could a passionate Stoltz fan be more pleased than to see him on television every week? I have always believed he knows how to choose a good script, and he strikes again on one of the best written dramas. I am not an avid television watcher, but Chicago Hope is definitely my favorite of the medical shows. Stoltz has the ability to develop characters worth watching...anything from a philosophical mime to a poker-playing landscaper...I am anxious to see the motivation behind this sexy Buddhist doctor and see how he fits in with Chicago Hope's intellectual humor and zany antics to personal problems. I especially enjoyed last week's episode of Yeats dealing with Deloris, because his character is becoming more three-dimensional. He was given more time to actually be `watched', not rushed through the scenes. I cannot say enough good things about this career move and how glad I am to see Stoltz on C.H. Bottom line: it is a great show gone better.
