re: #295 Blind Frog Belly White

When I watched “Last of the Mohicans”, it was so hard to believe that Cecil from “A Room With A View” was Hawkeye. Then I saw him in “Gangs of New York”, and he was neither one of them.

Yeah, I know. It’s called “Acting”. But most actors, you always see the commonality between roles. Oldman and Lewis, you don’t.

As an aside, Mrs. FBW and I have been enjoying “A Series Of Unfortunate Events” on Netflix, with Neil Patrick Harris as Count Olaf. We were comparing his performance with Jim Carrey’s Count Olaf from the movie. Carrey’s Count Olaf is really hard to see in each of the characters he pretends to be, but in Harris’s, it’s always obviously the same guy. But you see, Count Olaf is supposed to be a BAD actor, so he SHOULD always be obviously Count Olaf, except to all the stupid adults around the Beaudelaires.

Daniel Plainview is one of the most fascinating characters in modern film, to me.
