ROAD TO PERDITION

For his chilling turn as an aging Mob boss in Road to Perdition (2002), costarring Tom Hanks, Newman snagged his last Oscar nomination – his tenth (nine for acting, and one for directing 1968's Rachel, Rachel) – this time for Best Supporting Actor. The role also would prove to be one of his last on the big screen.
