Favorite Actor Versus Tournament Round 1

Featured Replies

I gotta go with [glow=red,2,300]Jack[/glow]

 

1) He has more range.  Anyone interested in watching Pacino do comedy?  Anyone?

 

2) I can do a wicked Jack Nicholson impression, and that's important

Looks like Jack gained some momentum near the end and wins 7-3.  Danya also admitted to not seeing the Godfather movies.  This calls for an intervention....

 

 

Next up:

 

Sean Penn

Morgan Freeman

C'mon, are you serious?

 

[glow=red,2,300]Freeman[/glow], hands down.  Penn's been in some good movies lately, done the brooding/sensitive/special thing, but Freeman's got gravitas, man.  Gravitas.  (I like that word.  It's fun.  Say it with me now.  Gravitas)

Sean Penn is considered one of the top actors of our time and I had to include him on this list, even if he is beaten down the first round.

I have to go with [glow=red,2,300]Morgan Freeman[/glow] as well, if not only because of Glory and Shawshank.

 

Freeman: 4

Penn: 1

“You tolerate me, you really tolerate me. [Accepting his Independent Spirit Award]”

Sean Penn quote

 

 

Gah, another tough one. I have to go with Penn though, for childhood memories of his performance in Bad Boys. Seeing it again as an adult, the film wasn't as great as I remembered it, but it did make quite an impact.

 

And Morgan starred in Bruce Almighty, which is a major blow to his credibility.

Looks like Freeman was a very popular choice that round and moves into round 2 with ease. 

 

Ok ladies (and Hax), try to calm down when voting for this next versus....

 

Sir Anthony Hopkins

vs.

 

 

Johnny Depp

[glow=red,2,300]Depp[/glow]  He's just more complex as an actor, and his characters - with the exception of Hannibal Lechter (who, lets be honest, was only really compelling in Silence) - are more memorable

Why wouldn't I be calm? What's so special about Anthony Hopkins? Wait... OMG it's Johnny Depp! *screams and faints*

 

It's a close one, but I'm gonna go for [glow=red,2,300]Johnny Depp[/glow].

 

Are we glowing or bolding the votes? I seem to do a bit of both.
