August 15, 20187 yr I know what he was going for and what the character required, but he performed it without subtlety or charm. The difference was stark imo. Pinto was simply outclassed by a singular acting moment. That movie was about Abraham's Salieri, and Hulce was little more than a clownish stage prop for Abraham to contrast off as he did everyone else save perhaps Jeffrey Jones, who himself had to make a spectacle without much to work with and mostly accomplishes it. #runonsentence I doubt I would be disappointed with Hulce's effort had Abraham not raised the bar on the entire movie. Well, Elizabeth Berridge's tits also raised the bar.
August 15, 20187 yr I know it wasn't the lead role, but James woods as Lester Diamond. Dude played that greasy pimp like he was that greasy pimp.
August 15, 20187 yr Laurence Fishburne as Morpheus Burt Reynolds as Jack Horner William H. Macy in The Cooler
August 18, 20187 yr 34 minutes ago, Deej said: Jackie Gleason as Sheriff Buford T. Justice. Well, every role Jackie played was usually best played by him. The man was character acting royalty.
August 18, 20187 yr Yeah, but playing an East Texas sheriff kinda came out of left field, and he nailed it.
August 19, 20187 yr Gene Hackman- any role he's playedLike many actors of his time, the 80’s were not his best decade. Lot of failed comedies.
August 19, 20187 yr Paul Newman in “The Verdict” And about 90% of the other movies he did. Same for Steve McQueen.Newman was robbed of an Oscar that year. He also should have received one for Absence of Malice.

August 20, 20187 yr Patrick Bateman - Christian Bale Tyler Durden - Brad Pitt/Edward Norton Sir Davos Seaworth - Liam Cunningham
August 20, 20187 yr Though he did Hoosiers and Mississippi Burning in the 80s as well. But does that make up for Superman IV?

August 20, 20187 yr Two pain in the ass type characters Robert Duvall played to perfection were Beatrice attorney Jerry Facher in A Civil Action and writer/ cartoonist Max Mercy in The Natural. Hard to imagine anyone else giving a better portrayal while halfway endearing themselves to audience, regardless of how shitty their characters were.

The guy has a huge body of work.

I like Miss Winger, always have, but never thought of her as a role defining actress in anything she's ever done. The Dallas chick who was chasing Travolta seemed the more perfect role cast.
August 21, 20187 yr I'd venture to say none of the lead characters with perhaps the exclusion of Scott Glenn were well cast in that one.

Scott Glenn was perfectly cast. Travolta as a cowboy type ? Gimme a break, I was always waiting for him to break into a disco dance number. Travolta didn't get relevant again till he joined Scientology.
August 21, 20187 yr I'd venture to say none of the lead characters with perhaps the exclusion of Scott Glenn were well cast in that one.Scott Glenn as Alan Shepard and entire cast of The Right Stuff, especially Sam Shepard as Chuck Yeager and Ed Harris as John Glenn. honorable mention for All-Pro Anthony Munoz as Gonzales.
