Check out John Wayne in "Red River". He gives quite a multi dimensional performance. I also thought his performance in "The Shootist", his last movie, was quite compelling. Mostly, of course, he was this macho, larger than life character, which is what the public and the studios wanted. He was a better actor than generally given credit for.

I think most actors have potentials of being "multi-dimensional" as they have the opportunity to. I think the key is to be able to choose the right project and work with the right people. We have the technology and skills to make good movies. We'll just have to put everything together nicely, as a whole. A weakness in modern movies is the incohesiveness. The story is often distracted by special effects, current politics, cat phrases, and even the acting itself. Take The Sixth Sense for example, they had a great, original story to tell, but ended up serving as the young actor's (Osborn???) talent show. Not a bad movie, but could have been much more powerful.When a story is well told, together with great acting, music, and photography, we have beauties like The Piano, Amadeus, and the likes.
