Look at fellow New Yorker (and Heat- ian) Al Pacino.He seems to be pushing the envelope after all these years. I thought he was terrific in "The Merchant of Venice" and really good in "Insomnia", "Devils Advocate", "The Insider", "Donnie Brasco", "City Hall" etc.
I mean, he's still "Al" but he brings a new gesture and accent to the table....and certainly a bundle of raw, hungry energy.
Follow Ups:
Pacino is still interested in the art of acting, still puts his all into it. Even in a fairly mediocre film like "Two For the Money", he delivers his lines with great verve, inhabiting a not very likeable character with great charisma, depth and vulnerability. He still has it, even if the charlatan/power monger aspect of many of his recent characters seems somewhat similar. I agree DeNiro could phone in most of his roles the past 10 years. Too bad, but still too soon to write him off. I hope..."You think you got it bad? I'm in here with a guy thinks Wyoming is a country"...
