    Great roles, great actors?

    Since we did the "Tough Guy" thread....

    What actor/actress performed in a role that drove you crazy?

    I mean crazy like I-still-yell-at-the-screen role?

    My all time fave is Juliet Lewis in Cape Fear!

    I wanted to slap her so bad...especially when she was in the auditorium with DeNiro...

    About two thirds thru the movie I realized that I was talking to the TV...That made me realize what a good actress she was...she hasn't done any thing else I liked, but that ROCKED!

    At the risk of sounding like a total nerd...

    I loved Kate Mulgrew as Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek Voyager. She did a very good job at making the character convincing. Her acting really helped me get into the show a lot more than other Star Trek series (No I'm not sparking a what captian is better debate )
    Another convincing role that comes to mind is the lead female role in the first (the VERY first) Night of the Living dead movie. She really had you going that she was in fact, the dumbest woman on earth.

    Seven Years in Tibet with Brad Pit. That's a really good movie. I was surprised I liked it because I don't usually go for those type movies.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    John Lithgow in the World According to Garp.
    He played a transexual football player named Roberta Muldoon.
    And as Emiliano Lizardo in Buckaroo Banzai-that was a real dumb, but funny movie!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.
