In Reply to: Afilado, I said "young actors." For goodness' sake. But I am happy posted by tinear on December 17, 2009 at 08:10:12:
All the Danes you mentioned in Brothers are 35+ years old. There's a long list of Americans 30-50 years old who are accomplished film ( and stage) actors.
I gave you a starter list but you keep bringing up the "pop" stars. Address Wright, Ruffulo, Dillahunt, Linney, Hoffman, Keener, Renner, etc.
Maybe you were just being dramatic and twitchy-faced yourself when you said you didn't think there was one U.S. actor to match them. ;-)
I'm in agreement with much of what you say about the state of American cinema. But to make such a statement about the quality of a broad swath of actors flies in the face of a lofty film wisdom and insight that you otherwise work so hard to project.
And, Thomsen ain't no Sydow.
