Hi CrimsonKing,
I like Walter Huston, Henry Fonda, George Sanders, Mirriam Hopkins, Edna May Oliver and many others, but would it be fair to compare them with Method actors? Interesting that you would write this because a friend and I just had a conversation about wanting the old type of acting (stagey) to invade the 21st century. I guess it's the reason why I watch (and buy) quite a bit of British works. Shakepearean, classically trained actors are fun to watch.
Peace.
Hello brave you got a few on your list i like aswell,A few older gen actors i liked are Humphrey Bogart,James Cagney,Ingrid Bergman,Edward G. Robinson,and several others.It would be nice if they did bring that kind of style back.Makes them more dramatic,honestly im tired of special effects movies with actors that look the same,sound the same,and act the same in every role.I do not understand why people are willing to pay 10 to 15 dollars to see most of this garbage in a theater.Most actors now days couldnt carry the ones listed shoes.
"If it is not advantageous,do not move.If objectives can not be attained,do not employ the army.Unless endangered do not engage in warfare.The ruler cannot mobilize the army out of personal anger.The general can not engage in battle because of personal frustration.When it is advantageous,move;when not advantageous,stop.Anger can revert to happiness,annoyance can revert to joy,but a vanquished state cannot be revived,the dead cannot be brought back to life."
