why.

Peter Sellers
Clint Eastwood
Marlon Brando
Robert Carlyle
Steve Buscemi
Tim Roth
Robert De Niro
Christopher Walken
Gary Oldman
Sean Penn
Morgan Freeman
Samuel L. Jackson

Thanks to anyone who finds the time to do this.

 

Welcome!

Gary Oldman was good in 'JFK', but I'm not sure if it's because it was a role in which he wasn't an overacting villian.

Peter Sellers - 'The Pink Panther Strikes Again'.

Clint Eastwood - I like 'Josey Wales', but 'Unforgiven' was probably a better performance.

 

Peter Sellers - Dr. Strangelove. He played three different characters.

Clint Eastwood - Josey Wales. (But I gotta agree with math on this)

Marlon Brando - I'm inclined to say the Godfather, because that’s really all I've ever seen him in. (Besides I've only really seen him in all the shitty movies he's done the past two decades.)

Robert Carlyle - Trainspotting. Bigby kicked ass.

Steve Buscemi - Probably Fargo. But I've liked him in pretty much anything he's done.

Tim Roth - Reservoir Dogs.

Robert De Niro - Everything.

Christopher Walken - True Romance.

Gary Oldman - Leon, the Professional.

Sean Penn - I hate Sean Penn

Morgan Freeman - Shawshank.

Samuel L. Jackson - Pulp Fiction.

 

i liked walken in that fatboy slim video. he was pretty intense in the deer hunter and badass in king of new york.

for de niro, how could you not go with travis bickle from taxi driver or jake lamatta from raging bull? hell, he was great in the deer hunter with walken.

 

Peter Sellers = Being there
Clint Eastwood = The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Steve Buscemi = The Usual Suspects
Tim Roth = Planet of the Apes (though I don’t this movie)
Robert De Niro = Taxi Driver
Christopher Walken = The Dead Zone
Gary Oldman = True Romance
Sean Penn = Bad Boys
Morgan Freeman = The Shawshank Redemption
Samuel L. Jackson = Pulp Fiction

 

Buscemi wasn't in The Usual Suspects.

 

must be thinking of reservoir dogs.

 

Peter Sellers = Being there
Clint Eastwood = Unforgiven
Steve Buscemi = I like everything he's done
Tim Roth = Planet of the Apes
Robert De Niro = Not a good actor in my opinion, meaning he's the same character, just different movie.
Christopher Walken = The Deer Hunter
Gary Oldman = Dracula
Sean Penn = Dead Man Walking or The Falcon and the Snowman
Morgan Freeman = The Shawshank Redemption
Samuel L. Jackson = Pulp Fiction

 

Peter Sellers - what's new pussycat

Clint Eastwood - bridges of madison county (chick flick)

Marlon Brando - a streetcar named desire

Robert Carlyle - *not sure who he is*

Steve Buscemi - armageddon but i did like fargo

Tim Roth - i'll go with planet of the apes i am not sure what else he's been in.

Robert De Niro - awakenings and OHH so many more!

Christopher Walken - the dead zone

Gary Oldman - bram stoker's dracula

Sean Penn - i am sam

Morgan Freeman - driving miss daisy (for personal reasons )

Samuel L. Jackson - i'll go with shaft, but i like just about
everything he does.

Yes, I was incorrect. I was thinking about Mr. Pink in Reservoir Dogs
