    *Cough*
    Beginning with the thriller Play Misty for Me, Eastwood has directed over 30 films, including Westerns, action films, and dramas. He is one of few top Hollywood actors to have also become a critically and commercially successful director.

    Oh and he was also a Mayor in the past.

    Yeahyeahyeah, but the OP is about him being an actor. Why don't we laud doctors or dog-walkers in the same way?

    2 people walking a dog will produce the same results.

    Me too :eek: but then I thought "Nah there's only about 11 posts".

    I too am most endorsing of Mr Aistwood.

    And so sexaaaaaaaaaay!!!!

    Hmnn the only person who mentioned the word genius was..... yourself. So, are you criticising yourself?

    Ah I jest, it's late and I'm tired. Good actors deserve to be lauded however as it's something of a talent/artform. Bad actors are either simply atrocious or overly hammy!

    Major crush on him in my youth.
    Be still my teenaged heart. :)

    He made my tender young loins quiver. :)

    Actors are but talking props. Every single last one of them! Although a guy who endorses the Republican party can't be all that bad, I suppose....as for the ladies saying he's sexy, that's just wrong, he's like 100 years old!

    Only because he had the most powerful handgun in the world.

    Himself on the otherhand.

    If it were as simple as that we'd all be doing it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    ? What? Why?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,944 ✭✭✭✭4zn76tysfajdxp


    An underactor when overacting was still the norm. Fair play to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,901 ✭✭✭Mince Pie


    Jaysus I opened the thread with trepidation as well. Prefer him as a director to be honest. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil has to be one of my favourite movies.

    Thought he was great as Clyde in Every Which Way But Loose....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 892 ✭✭✭GenieOz


    He's not even close to being the best actor in the world, wouldn't even make it into the top 100
