I disagree, I mean Principal Joe Clark from Lean on Me is a much different character than the one he played in, say, Million Dollar Baby. I would agree that he does play many of the same roles over and over, but he's demonstrated a bit of range. @Your other post: Would you think Daniel Day Lewis fits into that category as well? |
@ Morgan Freeman - yes, you are right, there are a few movies he has done that are different - like Driving for Miss Daisy, but for the most part his roles are almost identical. He may be a great actor, but greatest actor of all time? No way.
@ Daniel Day-Lewis - have you seen My Left Foot or Last of the Mohicans? Those are extremely different than his two most recent movies.
If we want to actually get serious, here are some actors who could contend for best actor of all time - Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Jimmy Stewart, Orson Welles, Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, Toshiro Mifune, Alec Guiness, Peter O'Toole, Laurence Olivier.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
