Great shouts, was going to mention these. Most people mentioned are good technical actors. What about those with charisma? I'd mention Bruce Lee and Arnie!
Each generation spawns it's own greats. Jimmy Cagney Spencer Tracey Sidney Poitier James Stewart That's the 50's & early 60's covered
hope i am not getting confused lol, but did sidney poitier write lipstick on my collar? name rings a bell. loved that series, think he starred in it but not a big role, was a while ago, my memory is a bit ****ed lol. don't know of any films he has been in though. surprised you didn't mention james dean.
For an acting masterclass, look no further than John Barrowman in Shark Attack 3: Megalodon. [video=youtube;w1XOfHax6Q8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1XOfHax6Q8[/video]
With make up on yes! Never google-image search for photos of her without makeup though! It's not pretty.
I wouldn't go that far, but I'd have given her one! *fnaar* Actors that almost always play themselves: Connery, Arnie, Michael Caine (although he's started 'doing accents' now), most martial artist actors ...
Natalie Portman should have won an Oscar for "Closer" and also for "Hotel Chavelier" [video=youtube;HkqIVdMt_bs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkqIVdMt_bs[/video]
****ing love their fulms. Escape plan is a top top film. If they were really good actors, I probably wouldn't enjoy them so much.
James Dean was a bit of a one trick pony, the angry youth. It is often said that his best career move was the fatal car crash. When Dean introduced himself to British actor Alec Guinness outside the Villa Capri restaurant in Hollywood, he asked him to take a look at his brand new Porsche Spyder. Guinness thought the car appeared 'sinister' and told Dean: "If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week." This encounter took place on September 23, 1955, seven days before Dean's death. Sidney Poitier shot to fame in the late 50's and early 60's. He starred with Spencer Tracey in "Guess who's coming to dinner" a story about a white girl who brings her black boyfriend home to meet her parents, the father (Spencer Tracey) is a racist. In its time it was cutting edge. He is probably best remembered for "In the heat of the night" and the follow up "They call me Mr Tibbs". He also starred in "To Sir with love" alongside Lulu, set in a rough school in inner London, it never quite explained Lulu's strong Glaswegian accent.
When they were filming "51st State" in Liverpool I took my son, then aged 9 and a few of his mates to Anfield as a birthday treat. After we had done the tour we were in the club shop when Samuel L Jackson came in straight from filming, there is a scene at Anfield in the film. Jackson was still in costume so was wearing a kilt, everyone in the shop was looking at him and as he stood next to us my son asked me in a very loud voice "Who is the big black man in the skirt" Credit were it's due big Sam just looked at him and grinned before walking off.
