Tribute to Great Actors

Bill Nighy

Try watching Love Actually and u see a slouching past-season rocker trying to make it big again in these bubble pop mtv music scene set during christmas.
Then he changed role for Underworld and become a dignified vampire, one of three to rule the century.
Now we'll watch him as Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean II : Dead Man's Chest.

Hugo Weaving

Biggest impact for me is Mr Smith as the doppelganger opposite of Neo set out to destroy the so call messiah unconsciously initializing the whole apocalypse of the human world in Matrix.
Then he became the robe wearing flowy haired elven lord Elrond in Lord Of The Rings.
He could also act as an everyday role of Rex the Male Sheepdog in Babe : Pig in the City.
After that u see his bigger than life expression as V in V for Vendetta.

Alan Rickman

First seen him in Harry Potter : The Sorcerer's Stone as Professor Snape.
Then seen him in An Awfully Big Adventure starring as an enigmatic motor riding self-made actor who returned back to the theater which made him big and discovered he had a love child and committed suicide in the end.
And then he became the almost-adulterer husband in Love Actually.
After that u hav him as the downright suicidal depressed voice of Marvin the robot in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Tommy Lee Jones

Caught him in MIB as the cold sarcastic aloof with hint of humour undertone Agent K. My favourite character.
Then saw him as Two Face in Batman Forever, and as the undercover cheerleader coach in Man of the House.
Such different dish of comedic behaviour for a serious guy from San Saba, Texas.

Here I'll Pay a Tribute to my favourite enigmatic movie screen hero :

Ewan McGregor

First deep impression was as The Eye ; detective fascinated by the object of his investigation with tat poignant soundtrack I Wish You Love by Chrissie Hynde. Still looking for that soundtrack.
Then I saw him starred as the drug addict Renton in Trainspotting who in the end, got his piece of the world after much mishaps of friendships and heroin-whacked thrown at him. Great movie btw. Do watch the heroin-seduced scene of him in the toilet and his trial to recovery from drug addictions for the umpteenth time. Cant ever ever forget the initial narration of his piece of parody on "I choose not to choose life" in the starting of the movie.
Enjoyed him as the love hopeful Christian where he sang Come What May and the heart wrenching Le Tango de Roxanne in the freaky dramatish movie of the year Moulin Rouge set in Montmarte, Paris during the absinthe-induced-love revolution period.
Really gotta catch him in Big Fish some day.

Before I end my tribute, I'd like to say that the Tribute to Great Actresses has yet to be compiled, this list will grow along with me and do enjoy the sarcastic life-mocking parody below :

"Choose life.
Choose a job.
Choose a career.
Choose a family.
Choose a big f*cking television.
Choose washing machine, cars, compact disc player, and electric tin openers.
Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance.
Choose interest mortgage payments.
Choose a starter home.
Choose your friends.
Choose leisure wear and matching luggage.
Choose a three-piece suite and higher purchase a wide range of f*cking fabrics.
Choose D.I.Y and wondering who the f*ck you are on Sunday morning.
Choose sitting in a large couch watching mind-numbing spirit-crushing game shows stuffing f*cking junk food in your mouth.
Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in your miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish f*cked-up brats you've sworn to replace yourself.
Choose your future, choose life.
But why would you want to do a thing like that?
I choose not to choose life.
I choose something else.
And the reasons?
There are no reasons.
Who needs reasons when you got heroin?" - Trainspotting
