Philip Seymour Hoffman intentionally played Owen Davian as "bored" in Mission: Impossible III (2006). He believed a true sociopath wouldn't be theatrical, his lack of emotion made him the most terrifying antagonist in the entire franchise.
@BestMovieMom In MI3, Hoffman and Crudup blew Cruise off the screen. That’s why Cruise has never since allowed a top flight actor to be cast against him.
