: Speaking of Mr. Wolf /Harvey Keitel and
classic "villains with class", other contemporary
actors in my own personal pantheon of "bad-ass-
ness" include:
: 1. Mickey Rourke (oh how, as a young lad
back in
: the 80's,I wished I could have been him
opposite
: Kim Bassinger in 9 1/2 Weeks..)
: 2. Christopher Walken (I thought he was cool
way
: before you did, DD)
: 3. Gary Oldman ( take 'yer pick: "Sid &
Nancy,"
: "Romeo is Bleeding," "The Professional...")
: 4. Vince Vaughn - the only movie I've seen
him in
: is "Swingers" - but he was SO MONEY, baby!
: 5. Gene Hackman - sure, now he's old, but in
The
: "French Connection" and "The Conversation"
he
: re-defined cool intelligence and grace
under pressure.
: All these other guys - George Clooney, Richard
Gere, Bradd Pitt, Keanu Reeves, et. al: WANKERS,
PANSIES AND PRETTY BOYS!
: Coming Next Week on Chancaca's "Inside the
Actor's Studio":
: "-Femme Fatales You Would Kill For - "
: Nostalgically Yours,
: Chancaca!
You coulda saved a lot of typing, Chancaca. Your
list only requires one actor's name. Two
words...Mickey Rourke. Barfly...beat that.
I won't even bring up Paul Newman...-
