[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1708736, member: 4319"] I could e-slap you for putting Jack Nicholson in the same list with Alec Baldwin, Will Smith and Vin Diesel. Nicholson is probably the best male actor to ever walk. His performance in Five Easy Pieces alone pretty much cements that position. [media=youtube]3_IVurj2Od0[/media] [media=youtube]Rl0A4q7yjuA[/media] As far as Wayne, I don't even think he was great at playing one character. I like a lot of actors that pretty much only play one character...but they play it well. Wayne's "acting" was forced, stiff and labored. Like a high school play or something. If you've ever seen the movie "Two Lane Blacktop" where James Taylor plays the drag racer and all of his lines sound like the slow kid in 3rd grade trying to read aloud....that's what all of John Wayne's performances are like. Only Two Lane Blacktop was still a cool movie in spite of James Taylor's LOL acting. A good actor makes you forget he's just playing a part. A good example of that is Dwight Yoakam playing Doyle in Sling Blade. You know he's killing the part when you forget you're even watching Dwight Yoakam. [/QUOTE]
