Which actor/actress has the best body of work?
Man, this is a tough one.

All time?

Currently working?

Young or old actors?

Actors in their prime?

Whatever fits for who you'd say has the best resume

I mean cats like Tom Hardy for example have less of a portfolio but it's not rule bound so to speak.

Just the other day watchihng Jackie Brown and I was just reflecting on how great of a career Samuel L. has had. My kind of actor.

I'm going to have to go with Pitt.

Michael or Brad?

I can totally ppl feeling this way. It's like he's really really good but I dunno he hit a certain age and has just been coasting since.

I do agree his most recent stuff hasn't been that great.. but he isn't the first great actor to have slumps late in their career

see pacino, al.. or ford, harrison

 

[venom lyrix]

to the Hanks haters, you have to be mentally ill to say he isn't an amazing actor. Did you not recently see Captain Phillips?????

 

[stuntman mike]

imo hanks was completely eclipsed by barkhad abdi in that movie.

God damn she fine.

Are shonda rhimes' shows any good? Kinda crazy how she got a whole night to herself on a major network. I guess the female and minority audience she has is that large. A magazine cover is saying she's the savior of tv. grey's anatomy and scandal seem like women shows to me and her new show has that stupid title that make me never want to watch it.

 

[venom lyrix]

I'm seeing my most anticipated film of the year tomorrow, Foxcatcher, at the NYFF

I like How to Get Away with Murder a good deal so far but I don't like Scandal cuz of the over the topness and bad acting. Never cared for Grey's anatomy or Private Practice but there were/are a few hot chicks on those shows.

I respect her grind as a creative black woman creator/writer and business skills and ambition to reach that level of success.

Savior of tv is over the top though

RIP Jan Hooks. She was part of the SNL cast from 1986-91 which along with her also featured Chris Farley, Mike Myers, Phil Hartman, Dana Carvey, & Dennis Miller. Her more memorable characters on SNL was being one half of the Sweeney Sisters & impersonating Sinead O'Connor & Hillary Clinton.

My favorite role of her's was in Pee Wee's Big Adventure...
