Now he just plays a charicature of himself. Bogart had more range, although it's hard to see that because of the way all men acted in that era.

  - It's your argument to make. I rebutted it. You cannot seriously state that - tinear 20:11:05 01/22/13 (2)
    Cooper and Bogart had similar ways of acting or stage presences or acting styles.
    Pick your examples, we're waiting for those "common threads."
    Actually, what made those actors great was their very individuality. Their immensely powerful characters that shone through the various roles. And some of the best films opposed those very stars, i.e. Stewart vs Wayne. Grant and Stewart.

        Inner resilience? WTF?
        Admit you're in error, put down the shovel.
        When you start talking about "inner resilience," you've gone soft.
