Please notice that I have listed 20 because the meme was about twenty actors, and of course this limits the choice, but of course, there are more than 20 actors worth watching!Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895285900033034259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30482638.post-39957907511209932872010-10-08T13:29:29.207-07:002010-10-08T13:29:29.207-07:00I would only add two actors to this list.

They can be anyone or portray any situation. They are simply a delight to watch. Extremely talented, too.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00338811645893138611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30482638.post-50046425154153796122009-02-05T20:30:00.000-08:002009-02-05T20:30:00.000-08:00Fabulous list!

I recently saw him in "Secrets & Lies" and he was practically the backbone of the whole movie. He reminds me of Oliver Platt.Staciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05250238254417726987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30482638.post-1919440137547185452009-01-05T03:17:00.000-08:002009-01-05T03:17:00.000-08:00XDFrancesco, While I think that Jon favreau is one...XD<BR/><BR/>Francesco, While I think that Jon favreau is one of the most interesting items of an otherwise godawful movie, I must say that the selection of twenty actors obviously leaves a lot of interesting people out.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe the thing is that, while not a bad approximation, I don't think Favreau got the best possible Fogster, which to me would require character elements of the Miller and Miller & Mazzuchelli eras and/or the lawyer as presented by Bendis and Brubaker.<BR/><BR/>Favreau's is a mix between the classic Foggy, the kesel Foggy and the early Miller Foggy... that gives us sense of humour, but mostly at the expense of Foggy, rather than Nelson's sarcastic comments in the Bendis era (where we could laugh with him and not only laugh at him)Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895285900033034259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30482638.post-89109396871272203362009-01-04T03:12:00.000-08:002009-01-04T03:12:00.000-08:00I know you separate your passion for movies from D...I know you separate your passion for movies from DD, but come on, I would have expected a honorable mention for Jon Favreau for the sole reason of having impersonated Foggy Nelson ;pFrancescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14844690248889102668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30482638.post-87384713192526029172009-01-02T06:14:00.000-08:002009-01-02T06:14:00.000-08:00Rick, I knew that mentioning Renoir would be an un...Rick, I knew that mentioning Renoir would be an unorthodox choice, but I must say that I really enjoy his little forays as an actor.<BR/><BR/> I have opted massively for old-time actors... but I got to state that I appreciate more recent one like Sean Penn, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Rickman, Edward Norton or David Warner (well, Warner ain't recent crop, but anyway...), just to mention a few AngloAmerican specimens ;)Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895285900033034259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30482638.post-34153831558944452472009-01-01T20:31:00.000-08:002009-01-01T20:31:00.000-08:00I gotta side with Marilyn: this is a great list, G...I gotta side with Marilyn: this is a great list, Gloria.
