He's a genuinely good person and actor. I saw a documentary a few years back, a "where is he now" of sorts, and he was living a quiet life on his farm, taking care of his boys, one who has severve autism and was greatly helped through equine therapy by a horse Brendan rescued after seeing him being abused on a film set in Mexico. It was really touching story in a non-manipulative way, you could tell he really loved that horse, and his sons, of course. He also talked about being blackballed in Hollywood after telling his agent/management or someone about being "intimately groped", basically fingered in public, by the head of the Hellyweird foreign press, who weild a lot of power. It seems like he's been getting roles again, and good ones I've heard, so good for him.
