In Reply to: too bad there is no Spencer Tracy in today's cinema posted by kuma on February 6, 2000 at 13:46:29:
...Jean Gabin. Both had that incredibly deep, seemingly "static" face. One can't stop being amazed at the wide range of emotions that it was possible to read on those faces. Richard Burton was also great in that respect, and among the living perhaps Gene Hackman is the closest with very broad range of wonderful roles under his belt. I simply love him - he is tremendous.If you look outside the US, then you find such titans as Gerard Depardeau doing tremendous job in nearly every role. Russin actor Ulyanov also has that weight about his persona - another stone-faced genius.
Among the legends, Marcello is perhaps without peer. I doubt any other actor ever broke that many ladies' hearts.
But you are right, there in no one today with the kind of weight to their presence as Spencer used to carry. And frankly, I doubt that the market would receive well today a person with this kind of qualities. It seems that what sells today is Leonardo, Kevin, Harrison, Bruce - that kind of crap. If Spencer spoke quantum mechanics, these "stars" are still trying to figure out which way their ass is.
