Our complete guide to an acting legend...

      Amazing, I love it. Howeverrr, I'm pretty sure Matilda was born in 2005, so she's 3 now, turning 4 at the end of the month.. And C should have been for Candy!

      His role as skip in lords of dogtown was excellent. On the bonus features you hear the real skip talk and ledger nailed it.
