What would you like to see Timothy Olyphant (or other typecast actors) play?
« on: 07 Apr 2010, 11:03 »
You know, I think he's got a good stick going. Justified seems to be getting me through the dry and weary spring season of television (Damages S3 = boring, Breaking Bad starting up). Nonetheless, I know he likes to hand-pick those modern-cowboy thing (i.e. The Crazies). Are you happy with Timothy's (or other typecast actors') roles, or would you like to see him (them) expand?

I thought he was great busting out of his shell in Hitman and Live Free or Die Hard, so I don't know what you're talking about.

But really, Morgan Freeman as a bad dude. A seriously fucked up, complex, interesting bad dude. Not some cartoonish idiocy like Wanted, like, a really really bad dude in a good movie.

Whilst on Sean Bean, I know he is typecast in various action roles but I was very impressed by his performance in Ronin. Seeing him play a bluffing big timer who actually can't stomach bloodshed was quite refreshing I thought.

check out his first movie, the one with Christopher Reeve, where he plays a violent pimp.

There was another film he was in recently where he was the villain but that's a pretty massive spoiler so I won't name it.

But the dude has played villains.

Yeah, the Reeve movie KvP is referring to is Street Smart, an OK movie that Freeman pretty much carries. He got his first Academy nom for it, actually. Seongyong Cho (who I found out about by way of Roger Ebert) wrote a pretty good summation of it just recently. It's a bit spoilery, but like I said, it's mostly a movie that's memorable for Freeman's performance, so you're not really missing out on much by being introduced by bits and pieces. I personally have a hard time getting past some of the "Whoa, the '80s" moments and some of the more glaring plotholes, but it's definitely interesting to see how different Freeman's first big role is from the stuff he's taken on in later years.

If it is the one I am thinking of, I'm not sure I would really consider him a villain. A villain in that his actions go against the actions of the main protagonist, but it isn't all that clearcut which one was in the right.

Is it Invictus?


It's Invictus isn't it.

anyway I don't see how Hitman was a mould-breaker for Tim Olyphant, he played a perpetually pissed off guy who is handy with a gun and not an awful lot of time for those goddamned stupid weak women.

Until Deadwood I always thought of Mr. Olyphant as a drug dealer.
