yep, I kept waiting for the ex-marine Hackman to leap out of character in "The Conversation"...the tension was gripping. Too bad he's fallen into a regular type-cast so often. Did you see him in "Under Suspicion"?and don't you just love Bill Bob Thorton, who's so good at character you could watch four or five of his films and not know it was the same guy!
most amazing transformation in a single film: DeNero in "Raging Bull"
Follow Ups:
right you are. Billy Bob Thorton is so zen, I forgot about him!Sounds like I need to add to my "2C" list of Hackman films: "Under Suspicion."
BTW, for what its worth, my wife, who has worked as a silent bit part in a Hackman film, sez, he's just "one of the gang" with the extras and other assorted cinematic peasants on the set. Which is nice.
Biggest jerk? Cruise. "Peasants" have been kicked off the set for even looking at him.
Biggest disappointment? William Hurt -- dozens of takes required for his scenes in "Accidental Tourist."
