In the DVD
commentary track
for The Man Who Wasn't There, Billy Bob Thornton makes the brilliant observation that the logical casting
for the dapper, taciturn barber would be Clooney while he, himself, would have been the obvious choice
for Clooney's character in O Brother, Where Art Thou; that the brothers have «corrected» themselves
for this picture goes a long way towards explaining both the pleasures to be gained from Clooney's deft comic timing (and a courtroom
