Why Paul Dano is going to be the greatest...

Paul Dano is making all the right moves in his career. In my opinion it should be only a few more roles before he is raking in the Oscar hardware by the bushel. You could say he sewed his wild oats young by appearing in The Emperors Club (a Dead Poets Society knockoff...with civ) and The Girl Next Door. But since 2005 he has been acting his ass off and hasn't looked back. He was in The Ballad of Jack and Rose opposite one Daniel Day Lewis in 2005. 2006 saw LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE...ahem sorry I just love that movie. And the star studded Fast Food Nation. 2008? 2008 showed us he best acting yet in There Will be Blood. Just when you think he has tapped out for a little while he is coming back with two stellar looking movies in 2009. One comedy (Gigantic) and one Drama (Explicit Ills) both look like they could make the top ten list of movies this year.
What is best about Paul Dano is that he can actually act. Seeing him in movies he is able to avoid the typecasting that he could have easily fallen into. He is different in each role and seems to be able to pick good roles that he actually wants to do. The best of luck to you Mr. Dano.
