I will always see him as Agent Smith. Always. Even in things he was in before he ever played the Agent Smith role.

He'll always be Tick to me, the fabulous single dad from Priscilla.

Same here. I love that he blew up career-wise after that, but he was already an icon in my world!

Why is Agent Smith dressed up in a blue suit?

That's clearly Jack Nicholson and that's not a suit

He is one seriously incredible actor.

Wasn't the Matrix his break out role? (I tracked down a short he did, it was ok.)

[–] thantik 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but then he was in things like LOTR - and it broke my immersion. I was like "wtf Agent Smith made it to the other franchises! He's spreading!"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You said in things he was in before the Matrix.

[–] thantik 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I said EVEN in things before the Matrix. That includes things he did after the matrix too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

In the West, yes. He's known in Australia.

Same. It's actually a thing that happens to some actors who got really famous because of a specific blockbuster and other directors don't want them because it would break the viewer's immersion. Daisy Ridley spoke about how for some time after her Star Wars role, she didn't get nearly as many offers as she expected.
