Fair enough, but maybe you were looking up the wrong guy because I didn't see a Count Vertigo in his profile. What movie was that? In the movie Fargo, (Gaear Grimsrud) he was the guy running Steve Buscemi through the wood chipper. He play Satan in Constantine. In Minority Report he played the eye Dr. Solomon Eddie who gave Tom Cruise another set of eyes. He was one of the thugs ( Karl Hungus) in Big Lebowski. They just added 3 more movies to his profile on IMDB since I saw it last (which was yesterday) making it 10 upcoming projects. Peter Stormare has been around and played in lots of popular movies like Awakenings, Armageddon ( Lev Andropov), Chocolat ( he was the husband of Lena Olin) I know you've seen that WordWolf and he was in Windtalkers, Bad Boys 2, Premonition and Nacho Libre. He has 170 acting credits so far. If anyone has one go ahead and take my turn.

That's what I was afraid of. He's a Swedish actor, usually plays seedy type characters. His character Gaear Grim was one of his most memorable roles. He frequently is cast by Joel and Ethan Coen. He isn't by any means a mainstream actor but he has played in several blockbuster movies, if that helps? i.e., According to his IMDB profile he is currently filming, and has a total of 7 movies both in pre- or post production right now. So he keeps busy, and somebody likes his work.

Well Andy Kaufman played Tony Clifton and Elvis and the rest of those guys sounds like he could have too.

I don't know this one.

Glad I could be of service to you Raf. You're Go. full throttle up.

I would agree that Sean Penn's (like him or not) film work stands up. If a list were made today of hollywood's best, for me, I think it would be a very short list. I would also agree with you George, that a good actor should be versatile in both comedies as well as dramas. . Robert DeNiro comes to mind. So versatile. Take your Ryan Reynolds, or Brad Cooper's, or Chris Pine's. They are all good looking hunks who play heartthrobs for the ladies but they fall short imo when it comes to giving a truly worthwhile performance. They are mostly known for choosing comedies. I don't know if that's because that is all they are offered or not, and I find that hard to believe, but I think it suggests A: that hollywood has dried up and no longer cares about really good roles or B: that those actors aren't as versatile and haven't developed that kind of range to play really good roles. I never would have thought 15 or 20 years ago that George Clooney would come up in the conversation as a really good actor. But imo that's what he has done. He has developed that range in his acting and has become versatile at playing both arenas.

It appears I misquoted my line. It should have been, "Hello boys! I'm Back"!!!!

Nope. NO arhnold either.

Do the actors from today size up to the actors from the day? I want to open up and discuss who you might think those actors are today, who have been out there for 20 or 30 years and not become more popular because of their clothing lines, colognes, and their beautiful bodies, those actors who burst onto the scene with the highest expectations but have not come up to the ranks of say Peter O'toole, Gene Wilder, or say a Robert Duvall? I like Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Do you think their work is really standing up? DiCaprio's latest oscar performance was riveting. IMO he has laid down some tracks but not all toward a movie career the likes of a Ford, Hanks or a Dustin Hoffman. It's still early. Maybe. I realize that these actors are from another generation, the generation of actors whom we hoped would become the next great DeNiro or Gene Hackman, Sean Connery or Gregory Peck, but can their work achieve what the Marlon Brando generation achieved, the Orson Welles, Gary Cooper's, or James Stewart's did? Who do think stands up today? Does anyone come to mind?

Sorry man, I must have been overseas when that one came out Ha.
