The only genuinely positive thing I could maybe say about him is he did do a good job playing a tech oligarch pervert in Blade Runner 2049.

Though in retrospect seems like that didn't involve much acting.

His band had like 2 ok songs and he looked kinda hot in an emo way in the music video for The Kill. He was also the only one who actually understood that Italians are unserious people in House of Gucci

That's all the good things I have for him.

Italians are unserious people

You're right, I've never been able to take an Italian I've met IRL seriously. I'm not sure why.

I've known loads, and I love many of them... But they take themselves and everything so seriously it wraps back around to being un serious.

Same with Kinski, it's just abusive creeps playing an exaggerated version of themselves. Depp is similar, in that the only guy he can play is the mask he puts on to appear as a harmless goofball.
