He makes it difficult to shave him moving about like that. Then he would put bullets in you many times if you accidentally nicked him.

You folks over the age of fifty, do you remember years ago when stand-up comedians gave their funny impressions of your favorite movie stars like Cagney, Robinson, Greenstreet, Lancaster etc? Tell me, who would they impersonate today? Nobody, that's who. These so-called "Movie Stars" today don't bring any kind of personality or personal character to a role. The real stars, who were worth impersonating are all gone, what a damned shame.

impersonations are not that interesting. audiences today demand originality. an impersonation is like a band doing a cover tune vs making thier own song. Kevin Spacey did a good one of Al Pacino when Pacino was on Letterman a few weeks back. he's probably one of the few actors who can do good ones.

Also Nic Cage

The current impression targets I can think of are Morgan Freeman and Christopher Walken. Johnny Depp is a good actor as well, but he varies his roles so much (in a good way), that it's hard to pin down an impersonation.

Plenty of fine actors today. They just don't have characteristic mannerisms like they used to.

Logan: Absolutely correct. My favorite is Sea Wolf. The little guy brings power and evil to the screen. Great actor.

Walken - Good call. There's only a handful. I'd put Billy Bob Thornton and Bill Paxton in there, but they play such diverse roles they're hard to caricature/imitate.

I guess if I attempted a Paxton imitation I'd use his character in 'Alien(s)'.

Chris Walken

Great actor and I agree that all the good actors and singers are gone or forgotten. When Jack and Denzel are no longer around who will fill the void?

I watched this on TCM recently. Great movie. He's one of my favorite actors.
