turning down a bad guy role in raiders of the lost ark so he could appear in venom (becuase the pay was better)

he gets my vote http://avalonsoftware.org/foro/images/smiles/mano2.gif

Alec baldwin. Not a phenominal actor, but i always enjoy him, and he seems to have fun with really awful roles.

Bruce Willis

I agree.... I'm drawing a blank, which is unbelieveable....

Sigourney Weaver. Alien, Aliens, Ghostbusters, The Year of Living Dangerously (I hated it, but it was nominated for Oscars), most recently... The Village...

ray liotta?

I saw it when i was about 14 or 15. I imagine i would have a very different opinion of it if i saw it now.

Speaking of Miss Weaver. I loved her when i was younger, because of ghostbuster and the alien movies, i wanted her to have my babies. Then i saw her topless when i was about 13. Shattered all of my illusions. Now i just think she is a great actor...

Good call.

i actually thought of another one: Brendan Gleeson. I thought he was great as Frank in 28 days later,but he has been in some real crap. Lake Placid was hardly a serious movie, but The Village... That movie is a blight on so many good carreers. Except Bryce Dallas Howard. i think she just sucks.

warren oates


listened to the audio commentary for sleeping dogs, roger donaldson (director) told the story of how they wanted jack nicholson for a part but they only had $5k fo the role. so jack turned it down but someone recommended oates as he would take it as long as they threw in a holiday so he could go fishing when he'd finished filming.

I'd say Christopher Walken and Samuel L. Jackson.

Yes, definitely Christopher Walken.

My favorite actor:D


You gotta put Micheal Caine on the list

Sure he's a little more discriminating now, but back in the 70s and 80s, he was the guy who couldn't say no. He's been in over 100 films!!!!

Jaws 4 anyone?

How about Malcolm McDowell?

*cough 4 cough*

ME: Jurgen, Jurgen. What on Earth are you doing here on location for House of the Dead?

JURGEN PROCHNOW: Well.... One has to pay the bills, you know? (smiles)

(pause)

ME: You're not a bit ashamed of appearing in this turkey, are you.

JURGEN PROCHNOW: (utter truthfulness) No. Not in the slightest. ...Is there some reason I should be?

ME: Of course not.

I always thought Steve Buschemi was the king of this. I think he's in every single movie ever made.

Michael Madsen
Ben Kingsley
Udo Kier
Billy Zane


all appeared in BloodRayne

Agreed. i have always wanted to punch him. In the face.


he did a commercial years ago where he was naming off colors. Every time i see him, i hear that whispy, soft voice of his say "Brown... Everysing, Brown..."

ray liotta - dungeon siege
jurgen prochnow - house of the dead

Thanks for that one also:D

Made you hopeful for about .02 seconds didn't it?:D

Billy Zane is lovely. He can take a shitty line and make it gold.

At the same time:eek:

"To know death Otto, you have to fuck life in the gallbladder."

:cool:

hmmm...I'm surprised that movie was bad......it did have Tory Kittles in it.

I'd be more worried about DNA...

There ya go....any actor able to say that line with a straight face deserves an Oscar.http://www.kodak.com/US/images/en/co...ademyAward.jpg
