personal fave

today i watched another film by one of my all time favorite actors. this actor has played so may character driven roles it so hard to pick any that aren't oscar worthy. he's portrayed so many different ethnicity's such as native american, italian, russian, chinese, japanese, european, and others over his vast career that it hard to know which is ethnicity he really is. his roles have allowed him to bring to life a barrage of characters such as a deadly assassin, undercover f.b.i. agent, grieving father & husband, a good cop, reality sheriff, father figure to an orphan, and ex military to name just a few of his starring roles. his skills in acting, and martial arts are too numerous to count, and even more potent than a cobra snake. he's so diverse with his acting that in a single movie you can witness his acting abilities with a little comedy, romance, action, drama, and even a little horror all in a single movie. when i watch this actor in action, there is no one even close (although i do love chuck, but even he can't hold much of a candle to him) to bringing the big screen to life for me. the reason your reading this post (cause i know its probably one of my most boring est to date) because of all the stupid movies, and remakes that hollywood continues to put out each year and the level of quality getting less and less, this guy still makes several films a year, and for the most part the quality doesn't get diminished from one film to the next. he's had to overcome so much in his personal life (i will my readers do the research of they want more on that), and is still standing today. i don't think i could be as lucky as he's been. i don't want to give the answer just yet on this tribute, so i will let those 5 readers ponder this post, and decide who it is (but i will disclose his identity in a couple days after the novelty (if there is one) wears off). i leave you with a parting quote from this actor that to me says it all.... "Yeah, I want some blow. Put your hands where I can see 'em or I'm gonna blow your head off.". i can't leave you with just a movie quote, so i'm also gonna share a personal quote from him....“I am hoping that I can be known as a great writer and actor some day, rather than a sex symbol.” now let's see if you can guess this oscar deserving actor is!
