But Jeff Bridges seems to approach every role the same way, whether he's belly-up in a bathtub in 'The Big Lebowski,' chasing down damsels in distress in 'King Kong,' or returning to a role he played almost 30 years ago to reinvent a plucky computer programmer as a silicon valley hippie in 'Tron: Legacy.' And while that approach might seem spectacularly intuitive, especially given his consistently natural presence on screen, Bridges confesses that it's a lot more formal than it looks, and it's helped him last in a business that doesn't offer a whole lot of longevity.
