Re: Your Favorite Actor

I've only seen him in "Columbo", but Jack Cassidy was very good.

I agree Clare. Cassidy was a good character actor. I saw him in quite a bit other than Columbo. His suave good looks got him plenty of episodial work.

Just off the top of my head. He did impress me! I also like Peter Falk!

Some of it rubbed off on his sons David & Sean.

Re: Your Favorite Actor

its most probably because he brings in a bit of comedy and perhaps thats what the producers were after.

probably the worst possible choice to play q in the brosnan era bond films, i mean what were the producers thinking?.i mean you would'nt cast rowan attkinson in a bon...oh wait, he was in never say never again, damn!

Sean connery for me followed closely by Anthony hopkins, out of hundreds of films Sean probably made a handful of bad choices (see above)

Re: Your Favorite Actor

Check out donald in a film called phenomena aka creepers he plays an entomologist which also starred jennifer connelly labyrinth.
Film directed by the legendary dario argento.

mine happens to be the one and only donald pleasence. I have rather a soft spot for donald since he came to my country several decades ago to make the mystery wake in fright. since then i must have watched just about everything the man has made. From his star turn on the classic wartime escape drama the great escape to dr loomis in the halloween films. Balding, quietly-spoken, of slight build and possessed of piercing blue eyes ..pleasence had the necessary physical attributes which make a great screen villain. In the course of his lengthy career, he relished playing the obsessed, the paranoid and the purely evil. One such character was ernst stavro blofeld in a james bond film. Another was the despicable henrich himmler in the eagle has landed. He has plied his trade on both sides of the atlantic will the fullest of professionalism. This quote by the man himself sums him up perfectly. " i'm a professional actor. I get the part. I read the script. If i decide to do it, i learn the lines. I have no theory about acting. For me, there is no method. I just do it.
I treat all film roles one way - very seriously.




pleasence as blofeld in you only live twice.

Al Pacino - great in Scarface, Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco and The Godfather. Not to mention he plays a very believable blind man in Scent of a Woman.

The late Gene Wilder was brilliant - he was the straight man to himself, if you know what I mean.

He was the best Willy Wonka as far as I am concerned. He would have probably made a good Doctor Who as well.
