@coolflexa no way man there plenty of talent out there but in my opinion the best acting is on TV David Tennant in Doctor Who and those tv movies he does Michael C Hall in Dexter David Boreanaz in Angel much of the greatest acting around goes unnoticed because its on TV not film

You would have enjoyed talking to someone of "Like Mind" For once, That is a line from This Movie and has always stuck with as a intersting phrase

@mlw7890 When you have some time one day watch Paul Newman in 'Cool hand Luke' or Robert Redford in 'Brubaker' or De Niro in 'Raging Bull' or Pacino in 'Carlito's Way'. You'll soon realise what everyone else already knows-that hardly anyone in Hollywood today can actually act- it's all about looking pretty today. It's the old ones who had all the talent...
