The Plank and other useless actors...

<< < (4/6) > >>

Bunnyman:
Samuel L. Jackson, without fail, plays...Samuel L. Jackson.

Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino have fallen into playing their own character in everything as well.  'Tis a pity.  They used to have such range.

ayePod:
Anthony "A-Break" Anderson.

I'm the token black guy with the high pitched voice in every movie ever.

Vlishgnath:
Anyone seen "The Big Kahuna"?

Kevin Spacey has a line it that I always reference when people discuss the makings of a good actor.  I can't quote it exactly, but it's like "Because if you know what you are doing, then you don't have to look like you know what you are doing, because it comes naturally.  Like a great actor who looks like they're remembering something that happened to them instead of just saying their lines."

Not enough actors possess that quality.  Depp is one of them that does, imo.  So many movies he makes, I don't feel like I'm watching a "Johhny Depp movie" so much as viewing a story about the character he's immersed himself in.

There are some actors that simply get type-cast into life long roles, like DeNiro.  Yeah he always plays the same basic guy, but I still love the movies.  Well, the good ones anyway.  >.>

My personal nomination for plank-acting?  Ben Affleck.

Like Marlon Brando before he got dissident?

I Am Not Amused:
Kevin Spacey is a terrific actor in his own right.

But yes, Johnny Depp is spectacular. He can make you forget the fact that you're watching JOHNNY FUCKING DEPP, which is amazing.

Ewan McGregor, despite his sometimes terrible taste in scripts (see: The Island) can do this to a lesser extent and is, in my opinion, an underrated actor. He actually made Hayden Christensen seem good in their scenes in the Star Wars prequels.

I could go on, but I won't.
