Underappreciated Actors 3

April 24, 2006

I continue on, with two more excellent actors. The first of whom i rate very highly

Michael Wincott

His best known role is perhaps as Top Dollar in The Crow (a movie i really like actually, it was one of those early movies that made an impression on me and spawned a whole lot of lesser quality wannabee mid 90’s Noir Films) He is very good as the “bad guy”, but i would just love to see him with a good role again for once, this guy could easily be an Oscar winner given the right role

Tom Sizemore

People seem to hate this guy because he slept with Paris Hilton and bragged about it, and not long after he filmed a home made porn movie and realised on the internet HIMSELF.

Well done Mr Sizemore, this guy is another great actor, he was excellent in Saving Private Ryan (a film i only really liked because i enjoyed Tom’s character) Alas, he is never given good role or scripts so his career has always see sawed on mediocrity.

And to finish it all up, he is a Mug shot of Mr Dennis Hopper after he got drunk and trashed a random car outside of nightclub, he was having a break from filming his debut feature, Easy Rider… Awesome Film

I am not Manuel

Not me as Manuel

Rupert is not Mrs Doyle

Angelina Jolie vs. Oliver Reed

VS.

Finally, it is on, a well overdue fight between a superstar from the 70’s and a modern day superstar. Who is the better? (in your mind) We fight with quotes, in true Butch blogging style

Jolie, 30, who is a United Nations goodwill ambassador, has been shielded from the Namibian natives by heavy security at a secluded beach resort near Walvis Bay Postchronicle

Angelina Jolie. What else can I say? A ridiculous person, paid ridiculous amounts of money, with ludicrous (yet honourable if unrealistic) ambitions to change the world, one child at a time.

What is it with A list actors and being so damn moral? Look at Tom Cruise for chrissake. No one is willing to break the mould anymore, hence the lack of modern day Jack Nicholson’s. Colin Farrell seems to be coming along all right for a while, but now he is another actor.

Which brings me to my next point

Oliver Reed

“Reed had a career of more than 30 years, but from the early 1970s he had acquired a reputation for bad behaviour off the screen - heavy drinking and brawling in pubs and during public appearances.” From BBC

Listen to this

He was famous for his excessive drinking, and was once forced to leave the set of a television discussion programme after arriving drunk and attempting to kiss feminist writer Kate Millett. from Here

I don’t encourage that type of behaviour, and Oliver Reed was far from an incredible actor. But dammit, he had charisma; he was an individual, nothing like the celebrities we are stuck with now
