In reply to: Occasional Lurker 's message, "What derogatory comments did DD make?" on 17:27:58 07/21/03 Mon

If we were to use the list of things to avoid for all actors, we probably wouldn's have television or movies. Perhaps DD was referring to the combination of all these things and said so without thinking. He has tried his hand at comedy but slapstick doesn't work for him. His strength in comedy is in what I call "British Humor" or the subtle, dry humor he used in XFiles. I wish he would realise that and knock off the dumb comedies like Evolution. That movie stunk in my opinion.

He hasn't tried a serious action movie since FTF and perhaps this is the direction he should be considering. I hate to compare him with Jimmy Stewart but I think there are a lot of similarities between the two men. Both are talented, both can do light humor and both were fun to watch. While Stewart acted in a wide variety of settings--Westerns to courtrooms, most of his caracters had many similar traits.

I suspect that Stewart recognized this while DD hasn't figured this out.
