High-profile films such as Indecent Proposal and the controversial Natural Born Killers followed. He then jolted fans and critics with Oscar-nominated intensity in the title role of The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996).Outspoken and active in a variety of mediums, Harrelson has also been seen in Wag the Dog, Kingpin, Play It to the Bone, The Thin Red Line and After the Sunset.
