While I think he is a great actor, does he always play a asshole douche bag piece of shit? I don't think I remember one movie he has been in that he does not play one of the aforementioned roles.

I think he was sympathetic in Uncommon Valor, IIRC.

I always think of him as a relatable Jerk, below is what I mean.  Yeah he's a jerk -- but I kinda' like it.

He plays the asshole/jerk part well.  Why change it?

It would be like Eastwood in Bridges of Madison County.
