  We must be hard up this year.
  
  You read the whole thing??
  
  I like actors you see, rather like the way you audiophile fellas get excited about female vocalists. I see a lot of films 30-50 in the theater every year, plus DVDs and cable, and I remember the actors who strike my fancy. Haven't seen so many movies this past year, however, since two terminal family illnesses in a row have greatly curtailed free time. I know there's a couple of young American actors I've forgotten to mention and want to. It's fun to watch talented people develop, provided they get the breaks. if you don't get good roles in good projects kn one will ever know what a given actor is capable of.
  
  Someone who is not youngish, but oldish, and is always good in whatever he's in (usually without fanfare) is David Strathairn. Why don't you do a thread on over 40 underrated character acotrs?

    I didn't remember their names!
    Strathern is an actor I know, have seen in quite a few films, and don't appreciate. It's a personal reaction.
    Chris Cooper, who is somewhat similar, I have great regard for. Go figure.

      I adore Chris Cooper and Lone Star is one of my favorite American movies of all time.
      
      He's also really good in Matewan, an excellent and often overlooked work of Sayles.

      • "Men with Guns" has to be the most overlooked truly great film. nt - tinear 06:18:07 10/07/07 (0)
