> All his Mobster roles and Jake Lamatta?? Pretty much the same all the time. Kenny G plays 5 notes perfectly...but they are just 5 notes.the problem with kenny g isn't that he does the same thing every time; it's that he does the same schlock every time. could one say that hitchcock isn't in the pantheon of geat directors because he chose to do suspense every time. or that scorsese isn't a great directors because his best films were, well, the films with deniro. i wouldn't criticize an actor for lack of greatness in range, and i know that you acknowledge point too in your post. few can achieve great depth in even one thing in their lifetime.
