Tom Wilkinson's Character in Michael Clayton

The movie Michael Clayton was a strong influence in my hesitance to be an attorney, especially at a big law firm. The cunning and venal litigation strategies, the 80-hour work weeks and most importantly Tom Wilkinson's portrayal of ostensible psychosis excellently represents the distressing toll that results from an overwhelmed attorney lifestyle.

Before watching the below scene, you must first give a look to the movie's opening scene, which YouTube is not allowing Scene Junkies to embed by request. Tom Wilkinson is a brilliant and diverse character actor of our generation.
