A third teaming with Cronenberg in A Dangerous Method resulted in a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor nomination.

Aside from acting, his other artistic pursuits include fine arts, photography, poetry, and music. In 2002, he founded the Perceval Press to publish the works of little-known artists and authors.
