Next up: Ryan Bingham (Bonus: provide BOTH absolutely unrelated but equally valid answers!).
Good one, K! Also, Gus Van Sant was at one point slated to direct BBM.
Ryan Bingham is Brokieish for five reasons that I can find:
1) He wrote and performed the award-winning song "The Weary Kind" for the film
Crazy Heart which starred Maggie Gyllenhaal.
2) A review in
Rolling Stone said he "earns his sepia-toned album cover with a dusty wood-and-steel sound, and despite being twenty-five, sings like Steve Earle's dad."
3) Another review: Texas Music Magazine has opined that "Bingham talks and sings with a whiskey-and-cigarette throat that screams hard living. Hard in a way that can make a 29-year-old sound like a 50-year-old Tom Waits." [Tom Waits played the devil in
Imaginarium.]
4) Wiki says he was a bull rider starting in his teens.
5) He played Tony in
Crazy Heart, which also featured Beth Grant, of
Donnie Darko fame; and Colin Farrell from
Imaginarium.
