charles bronson (before all the death wish sequels!) | ||

Because his comedic delivery is so perfect, I say Steve Zahn!  | ||
| Rocketman |
Two more big guns. Denzel Washington, has he ever made a bad movie? Superb character actor. How about Joe Pesci too. Two great British actors from the old school, Terry Thomas and James Robertson Justice  Rocket | ||

Will Smith, Keanau Reeves (sp?), Jet Lee | ||

william holden and catherine denuevue, i think that's how you spell her name. absolutely stunning. | ||

John Wayne would have to be on top of my list. The Quiet Man is one of my favorite movies. As well as True Grit. Michael Clark Duncan (The Green Mile), Ving Rhames(Rosewood) and Peter Ustinov (We're no Angels, The Sundowners) follow pretty close | ||
| Paulson |
Jeff Goldblum | ||

Come on guys, it's gotta be Slim Pickens...Dr. Strangelove's Major Kong! or in 1941 as Holly Wood, The Getaway...I could go on and on.... | ||

Yes Rocketman, Terry Thomas is a great choice too...the part he did in Mad Mad World was wonderful...I still LOL when I think of him in that old Jeep, saying "I do think you have damaged this vehical!"...with the front wheels wobbling like crazy....what a nut! | ||

vector- thanks for the memory jog...i remember going to the theater to see MMMMW with my Mom and Dad when it first came out...big treat in those days.Present day,may i please suggest Peter Sellers in "Being There"..."I like to watch."(to Shirley Maclaine...at least that's who she was then.)  | ||
| Voltage_vector |
Bozo...another more contemporary one similar to MMMMW is Rat Race...very much on the same lines of the classic we are talking about...my favorite scene is the Bronco, Radar dish incident! if only Slim Pickens were in it! | ||

Johnny Depp when asked about pirates of the caribbean role Captain Jack Sparrow he said "I don't do a good pirate, I do a GREAT Keith Richards" Vin Diesel Finally a new action star Michael Madsen forever changed the feelings evoked by "stuck in the middle with you" | ||

belushi and akroyd when together Johnny Depp | ||
| Rocketman |
Oh man. Peter Sellers in 'Being There'. Absolutely excellent. Slim Pickens in 'Mister Billion', "that's the worst god damn apple pie I've ever eaten". Great actor. Thanks for the memories. What a funny thread this is. There's already to many terrible actors mentioned amongst the great ones LOL. There's no accounting for taste as they say.  Let me know when we move on to chics. I'm already fighting the Metal fella for Ashley Judd. That's one sultry sexy woman on the silver screen. Isn't she Val Kilmer's wife in 'Heat'? If so, even when she's tearful and looking down on Kilmer on the street when the cops are with her, and she gives him that discreet look and wave, she's still goddamn sexy as hell looking like s**t.

In reading these posts...man there are tons of great actors who have really effected all our lives with their entertainment...some good others not so good. That being said, I have found myself, sadly, NOT watching some now due to their big F*&%#@* mouths and political leanings. It seems gone are the Hollywood actors who support their country. The very country that gave them all the opertunities and fame, least the huge bucks to act like primadonas and know-it-alls...a line from the "Aviator" comes to mind...."Your just a movie star, nothing more" from L.DeCaprrio (sp oops) as Howard Hughes. There was a email that went around a while ago that gave the WWII war record of the actors of that era...Very interesting...even 'Max Smart' was a wounded Marine from one of the Pacific island landings! Wish I could find it...Anyway I'm off the soap box...hey how about 'The Dude' from the Big Labowski...a true classic to be... | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Mel Brooks & Gene Wilder, Blazing Saddles Slim Pickens was in that too I think.} | ||
| Voltage_vector |
Slim sure was in it Grumpy!..."I recon you'all had enough beans!" He actually had a pretty big role for once. | ||
| Tramp |
he had a good role in peckenpagh's 'pat garret and billy the kid', from whence sprang dylan's 'knock-knock-knockin on heaven's door' | ||

diablobrian: i met vin diesel on a movie i conned my way onto the crew of, in prague. one of the funnier stories form my past 5 years. he's short little freak. introduced himself as 'vin diesel', so i introduced myself as 'pap smear'...he wasn't amused, but they needed good translators.... guy really avoided me like the plague, but samuel jackson, who was sick as a dog, hung out with me at every available moment. he is a very, very, very funny and engaging guy. i hooked him up with some good herbs (for his flu), and nearly talked him into joining me at a party with the hells angels-bohemia. was really hoping he'd show up. | ||

How could you pick just one? Val Kilmer: Tombstone and others Kurt Russel: Tombstone Mel Gibson: Payback and others The Duke: in just about everything he ever did. Steve McQueen: Great Escape Morgan Freeman: Shawshank Redemption and others Ashley Judd: In most of her work Henry Ford: Once Upon a Time in the West Oh, this could go on forever!!! | ||

I am sort of a picky person, I won't say that I don't like John Wayne, because I do, I just don't think he's a great actor, in the aspect of his ability to act. It is hard to find a good actor, there are a great deal of good actors. I like Clint Eastwood as an actor, James Stewart, Reagan was good. It is harder, I feel, to be a dramatic actor, than a comedic one, although it is harder to MAKE a comedy, than it is to make a drama. Owen Wilson is a good actor, but I think my favorite actors would be Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase, impeccable comedic timing, and Martin and Steve are great in their dramatic roles. |
