I've seen the PSH Capote but was unaware of the other ... thanks !

I prefer Toby Jones's depiction in the film Infamous – possible because I saw it first, possibly because there's more humor in it. For example, this scene in which Capote breaks the ice with offput Midwesterners by dropping names.

If the rest of the movie is as good as that clip, I GOTTA see Infamous !
When Toby throws his head back he especially looks just like Capote and the voice ... whoa !

Thanks !

James Franco and the real Tommy Wiseau - new release The Disaster Artist is excellent.
