Reason 4: Father Callahan
The fourth reason is because of comedian Jim Norton. We get to see Tommy’s conscience speaking and that conscience comes out through Jim Norton who plays Father Callahan. I think Father Callahan and Jim Norton’s performance is an underestimated performance because here’s Jim Norton – who is a famous comic who is very raunchy – and he brings this incredible, humbleness and thoughtfulness to a character who he feels he’s been put in a position to run guns and have the kids in his parish deal drugs to save the church in his community.
