What critics compared Prefontaine to
Forest Whitaker ( Ghost Dog , Bird ) is the lumbering yet kindly and noble black man, Jared Leto ( Prefontaine ) is the wiry mastermind who hasn't quite thought of everything in advance, and Dwight Yoakam ( Sling Blade ) is the sociopathic wacko in a ski mask.
Jared Leto ("Fight Club," "Prefontaine") has a brief stint as Susanna's wayward boyfriend of sorts.
