Hackman was a Marine before he went to Hollywood


I was gonna say Samual L. Jackson, but I retract that statement. He just talks the same in all of his movies.

i wouldn't say will smith just because he did a pretty good job with ali.

i'm tempted to say jim carrey, bc even though he's branched out some, most of his characters are still cooky in some way (ESotSM being the exception)

i think its kooky. cooky looks like you're saying he's chef-like.

i'd add mekhi phifer. seems like he always plays some variation of a thug.

He plays Will Smith in every movie he's in.

george clooney plays the same part no matter what movie it is (aside from Oh Brother), even batman

12/6/2005 9:12:14 AM

Samuel L Jackson is always one bad mother fucker

12/6/2005 9:50:39 AM

^^there are two movies out RIGHT NOW that disprove your theory

12/6/2005 9:53:04 AM

martin lawrence...always plays as a comic relief moron.

12/6/2005 10:14:44 AM

chris farley (fat, loud, and dumb), david spade (smarmy asshole), chris tucker, chris rock, martin lawrence, jim carrey (tho a few are different i admit)

12/6/2005 11:46:48 AM

For his first 5 years, i'd give you jim carrey

but since the truman show in 98, jim carrey has taken on some challenging, diverse, and captivating characters

i mean

sheltered innocence in the truman show
a spot-on andy kaufmann in man on the moon
a questionable amnesiac in the majestic
a tough role in the grinch
a dichotic schizo in Me Myself & Irene
the evil count in Lemony Snicket

and of course
everyman Joel in eternal sunshine

sure he has his bruce almightys and liar liars, and probably dick and jane movies, but i'd say for the last 7 years, his "different" roles have outnumbered his "ace ventura as a lawyer/God/thief" choices

of course, i'm biased, because basically anything jim carrey does i'll watch
i really respect him as a talented actor

He also did an excellent job as the Riddler. He was probably the best part of Batman Forever.

12/6/2005 3:12:42 PM

Jim Carey

12/6/2005 6:05:38 PM

I have always hated Jim Carrey. . .
until 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' -- and suddenly I'm able to forgive him for every heinous comedic part he has done in the past. He just impressed me so damn much.

12/6/2005 6:53:14 PM

i called that shit after seeing the truman show BACK IN THE DAY

some would describe it as a "mushroom cloud layin' motherfucker, motherfucker."

12/6/2005 10:55:04 PM

^^ truman show, man in the moon, the majestic, and eternal sunshine are all examples of the kind of acting jim carey is actually capable of when he's not playing rehashes of his dumb&dumber, liar liar, etc. roles.

12/6/2005 11:36:33 PM

is it just me?

or is anyone else tired of Orlando Bloom pretending to be an archer?

12/6/2005 11:39:48 PM

David Goldbloom, his charaters on paper might be different, but he acts the same regardless.
