Since we have a thread going about worst, lets do one with best. Im going with James (Tony) and Paul (Paulie) from the Soppranos.
I'd say Vincent D'Onofrio as Det. Goren, Law & Order CI My favorite of shows no longer on TV was David Hyde Pierce as Niles Crane on Frasier.
Brad Pitt is one of the most beautiful men on screen. Tom Cruise is well rounded & can play anything. Keanu Reeves has exotic qualities & a macho stance. I like Nick Cage as he plays the weird yet sexy guy that looks great in Levis & can talk a girls pants off. David Lynch stuff included. I put Nicholas & Richard Gere in that same category. They know how to walk the walk & please a woman. Redford & Newman are true legends.
Vincent D'Onofrio is way hot in a darkly sexy way. It's like he knows what you are thinking & moves into it & all over you.
Personally, I think he is brilliant. Scares me, charms me, gets sympathy from me, makes me want to kill him. Sometimes all in the same episode. JM
Surely you must be kidding. Did you see Sex, Lies & Videotapes or White Palace? He is perfect for Boston Legal & has the appropriate aloof attitude w/ sleazy overtones only trumped by William Shatner. Both these guys play their parts so well it is scary.
Granted that James Spader is not the master thespian of the 21st century. But he, along with (another ham) William Shatner, play their roles very well.
You know, Uncle Flav, this does not surprise me. I'll get back to you on my thoughts. Quite happily, I don't watch much television.
