Like Tom Hanks and Jim Carrey, actor Eric Bana began his career as a light TV comedian in his native Australia, before breaking into dramatic features with a singularly powerful performance in the film, “Chopper” (2000), about a notorious and charismatic Aussie criminal. That film gave him the cache to break into Hollywood features, where he enjoyed critical acclaim, if not always box office rewards, in major motion pictures like “The Hulk” (2003), “Troy” (2004), and Steven Spielberg’s “Munich” (2005).
