Interview : Paul Giamatti (Oct 06 2003 02:53 GMT) - You look at actor Paul Giamatti and there is an unassuming quality about him. One of Hollywood’s busiest actors, he is a rarity in this town: A character actor. And in the Sundance Film Festival award-winning "American Splendor", Giamatti excels at playing the brooding, working-class loser, the anti-hero of underground comic strip creator’s Harvey Pekar’s American Splendor |

American Splendor (Oct 06 2003 02:53 GMT) - Official website for the film version of Harvey Pekar's life. An entirely original film with a jumbled style that somehow doesn't interrupt the narrative. The flick features another brilliant performance from underused actor Paul Giamatti. |

From The Streets Of Cleveland Comes...Harvey Pekar! (Oct 06 2003 02:53 GMT) - Cleveland, Ohio native Harvey Pekar is best known for his autobiographical slice-of-life comic book series "American Splendor", a first-person account of Pekar’s downtrodden life. The series has been published on an approximately annual basis since 1976. Pekar self-published the series until the early 1990s, when Dark Horse took over publication. In 1987, Pekar was honored with the American Book Award for the series. Dark Horse celebrated the 25th anniversary of "American Splendor" in 2001 with a special issue. |
