Hij staat bekend om zijn productieve carrière met diverse rollen in zowel mainstream- als arthousefilms en ontving diverse onderscheidingen, waaronder de Volpi Cup voor Beste Acteur en nominaties voor vier Academy Awards, een BAFTA Award, vier Golden Globe Awards, vier Critics' Choice Movie Awards en vijf Screen Actors Guild Awards. Hij heeft veelvuldig samengewerkt met filmmakers als Paul Schrader, Abel Ferrara, Lars von Trier, Julian Schnabel, Wes Anderson en Robert Eggers.
