Subject: RE: BS: Greatest Actors, Harrison, Brad, MEL??!!
This is getting interesting. I find myself nodding in agreement at ALMOST every name mentioned. Perhaps these modern times are NOT a wasteland of acting.

Also...quite a few American actors are being mentioned who seem to be able to emote as convincingly as RADA trained Brits.

So how about some TEAMS?

I saw James Earl Jones and Christopher Plummer in Othello (on Broadway no less.....WITH Shwartzenegger in attendance)

Guinness and Mills in Tunes of Glory.....AND.....Guinness and Mifune in Bridge on the River Kwai!!

Now here's one that got bad reviews...lotta people thought it was just campy.......but I remember it as incredible scary and well done. Olivier and Hoffman in Running Man. (dentist anyone?)
