Yes I know movies are (as a rule) fictitious but we have surely admired certain characters in films and wanted to be them?
Whether it is the actual performance, the way they deliver lines, their screen presence, their written dialogue, the way they move or even dress.
I am not talking about the actual actor or actress behind the role either and don't just post a pic and leave it at that as that is just damn lazy. Give us your reasons even if you may find them embarrassing!
Film, character and actor and maybe a vid will help.
Rob Corddry. Hot Tub Time Machine.
Rarely have I seen an actor capture the pathos of approaching middle age so well. Instead of 'pretending' to be a old sod trying to recapture past youth, he still is a youth in his eyes yet he ultimately is resigned to his fate of past failures but he still approaches his life with a zest and an optimism that many 20 years his junior would be jealous of. Top this with off with a sense of humour that is seemingly all incandescent rage hiding an acute vulnerability and you have the perfect everyday 40 something.
More to come (no pun intended if you have seen the film).
