an audience requires a skill set. But 'danj' used the phrase "...basically just played themselves throughout their careers", and I questioned if that was real 'acting'. It isn't to me. Even with all their screen presence, as I said, I never had the sense that McQeen and his ilk 'became' their character, unless they were playing the Strong and Very, Very Silent type-hence, 'Bullitt'.

But that's one man, and one man's opinion. If someone disagrees, I won't be up all night crying myself to sleep. After all, John Wayne sure wouldn't do that. (-:
