Great OP! I've only seen Bateman in a few projects, but I really like him. He has such a different kind of presence on screen, plus yeah, he's hella funny too.

He's super funny. I loved him on Arrested Development. He was the only normal one for the most part which was funny.

I guess the most recent thing I saw him in was Juno.
