In Reply to: Is there a better American film actor (today) than Christopher Walken? posted by tinear on July 22, 2006 at 16:25:57:
I would pit this resume against your Walken resume...King Of Comedy
Raging Bull
Taxi Driver
Godfather Part 2
Deer Hunter
Goodfellas
Jackie Brown...and both DeNiro and Walken are sleepwalking lately so the "(today)" part of your post I disregard .
Follow Ups:
four times.
Walken is different each time.
Rupert Pupkin is like Jake La Motta? Absurd!Rupert Pupkin couldn't be more different then Michael Vronsky - or could young Vito Corlene be more different then Travis Bickle. That's why I submitted those characters.
excellent character portrayals.
The others... great direction (if you like Scorscese...) but over the top acting.
I think DeNiro overacts a lot but, similar to Streep, he creates such an intriguing spectacle that it is seen as "great."
I prefer to agree with Shakespeare's dictum when I judge acting.
