Unhappy Something i just realized

When Rodney Dangerfield died(r.i.p.) recently, I started to think. I then realized that all these great actors are getting old. Actors like Jack Nicholsen, Robin Williams, Chevy Chase,etc., are getting wicked old. Its gunna suck so bad when they die because there wont be to many good actors out there anymore.

If you think Robin Williams and Chevy Chase are "wicked old" then all I can assume is that you're punkass young..

No offence intended mind you

Re: Something i just realized

Also.. I think it's complete bollocks that there won't be any "good" actors around. What about people like Jude Law?

I mean.. we could have said the same thing when people like Carey Grant started getting old.. oh man.. there won't be any good actors around.. but then we got Jack Nicholson and Al Pacino. They were considered average when they started out.. and look at them now

cheers

Since when is Jude Law a good actor? Tee-hee-hee, just kidding.

I agree though, great actors come in every generation.

Re: Something i just realized

Ed Norton
Matt Damon
Clive Owen
Ewan Mcgregor

just to name a few younger actors that are good

And since when is Chevy Chase a good actor?
What really sucks is that Tom Hanks is starting to get old. I know he's nowhere near dying or anything but he's definitely not a young man anymore. There will always be good actors around though.

He always makes me smirk in the first National Lampoon vacation movie, and the Christmas one too.

If anything, we're going to have more good actors around in 20 years than we do now. You just watch

Actually, that's just not true.
Jack Nicholson's first important role, on Easy Rider, was an impressive performance and he was 32. He did Five Easy Pieces at 33 and Chinatown at 37. He won his first Oscar at 38 with (guess the movie here).

Al Pacino played Michael Corleone at 32 (bingo) and Serpico at 33 and nobody thought he was "average", for sure.

De Niro first important movie was at 31 (The Godfather part II) and at 32 (again...) he did Taxi Driver. Again, he was nothing less than amazing.

When you're thirty-something it's time to tell the world who you are, apparently, and it seems there aren't many actors playing in that league, yet, right now.
