movies as well in 1984, in NO SMALL AFFAIR. The critics
first noticed Tim Robbins in the portrayal of civil
rights worker Harry in FIVE CORNERS. However, the
film that got Robbins noticed by the general public
was BULL DURHAM, playing the not too bright young
pitcher, Ebby Calvin 'Nuke' LaLoosh, a role that showcased
his ability to play naive and obtuse, which works
well with his handsome, baby-faced appeal.
