John Lithgow is another actor who plays good [Harry & the Hendersons, The World Acording to Garp] and bad [ Cliffhanger, Raising Cain] characters and he is excellent in both.

And I don't pay much attention to their personal life.

My brother on the other hand is of the mindset.....if he doesn't like an actor he won't even watch the movie ...such as George C Scott, Nicholas Gage.

the irony of this - is that to make you feel this way - they've done a hell of a job as an actor. which should make you want to see more of them.

I typically like it a lot when a normally "nice guy" actor plays a rat bastard. I loved seeing bruce willis in the jackal. Of course, i cant think of any others right now, but i like seeing them do something unusual

I do have a problem with Tom Cruise.
I dislike him as the person he appears to be in real-life (I have no idea obviously what he's like in 'reallife') and I dislike his acting roles.


I know some of us do get invested in watching a film emotionally and start to care about the characters...then they start playing the 'bad guy' and it can have an effect.




And BTW: I didn't start this thread for people to be an asshole to ME.... so fuck you.
I thought it was a valid subject to see what others opinion was.

Fuck you back.

Just kidding :D

I see what you are getting at, and I know that there are some actors out there that have turned down roles because of their fan base's expectations. I alos know people who think it is inappropriate for an actress who does 1000 nude scenes to suddenly start doing kids movies.

I admit knowing things about an actor as a person can impact how i feel about them in a movie. Tom Cruise is an excellent example. he isnt that great an actor, never has been. In his personal life, he is a scientologist, and pretty much in my opinion that makes you a moron and a sheep. It also makes you arrogant because the basic doctrine of scientology is that non scientologists are bareley people.

He's smug, self righteous, and in my opinion, deranged.

Honestly, the only person who is openly a scientologist that i have even a little respect for is John Travolta, because where Kierstie Alley and Tom Cruise will jam the subject of their religion down your throat, John Travolta has specifically told people to leave alone on the subject of his religion. I can respect that, he doesnt want to discuss it, its his belief system, he treats it as a personal subject, WHICH IT IS.

While i may disagree with his beliefs, you have to respect a man who knows his boundaries.
