He gave a fantastic performance as Jim Morrison in Oliver Stone’s The Doors (1991). This is the role he will probably be best remembered for, as he completely inhabited the real-life singer. He relentlessly prepared, memorizing all the lyrics to the songs and dressing like Morrison for a year, even wearing black contact lenses to mimic being perpetually inebriated. As Morrison and in all of his performances, he had a level of unpredictability that made him compelling to watch.
