Alex on CM: "The Big Wheel" - links, reviews, discussion

[wpgrace]

I think he should just randomly pop up in all celebrity interviews.

Thanks, red, for the article

Bernero just sounds sooo laid back.....he seems to have a really good situation with the network, and despite a reduction in writing staff, still seems to churn out interesting stories.

He's also quite 'polite' in that he praised just about everyone he talked about, including Alex. There were no unkind words for Mandy Patankin, either.

Had to chuckle at the 'inner creepiness' comment - hmmm, Alex has played a psycho, several criminals, not to mention a vampire and he doesn't think he has any inner creepiness?

[wpgrace]

He's played TWO psychos.

In fact, I think he's played more bad guys than good guys...

[allegrita]

He said in a recent interview that he likes to play bad guys...

Yeah, grace, I can't count I was thinking Michael, but Vincent is one as well

Good guys - Jack Flange, Eric Fraser, Marshall Connelly, Kevin Hyatt, Andy Yablonski

Bad guys -Michael Carter, Marcus Bohem, Russell Hayden

Sorta both - Will Bryant (he was a criminal), Mick St. John (well, he was bad, for a while)

He said in a recent interview that he likes to play bad guys...

I wish he would play more of them, alle. I would really like to see him play someone just totally depraved, yet without any psychosis to excuse it....

Wait a minute...doesn't Jack Flange count in the "sorta both" category? Didn't he rob a bank?

Yeah, Lucky, you're right...notice that I forgot to list Vincent!!!

Let's try again, the corrections in red

Good guys - Eric Fraser, Marshall Connelly, Kevin Hyatt, Andy Yablonski

Bad guys -Michael Carter, Marcus Bohem, Russell Hayden, Vincent

Sorta both - Will Bryant (he was a criminal), Mick St. John (well, he was bad, for a while), Jack Flange,(a bank robber with his heart in the right place).

So his repertoire is pretty balanced...but if you add Stan and Steve McGarrett, the good guys pull ahead

I'm beginning to think Alex needs to play any kind of characters that are against his leading man type after H50. Certainly Vincent is a stab in that direction.

I remember earlier in Bruce WIllis' career maybe after Die Hard 1 and 2, he started playing smaller interesting characters in order to get variety. He was guarding against ending up just playing the same Die Hard character again and again. That really worked for him. (Would you have put "the Die Hard guy" in the Sixth Sense without the quirky things in between?)

Of course, we may not like it in the short term but it should give him longevity.

You forgot Luke Anderson in BlackJack:Sweet Science. He was definitely a baddie in that. And it could definitely be argued that Jack Flange and Will Bryant are not 'bad' men. At least they aren't murderers. So if you take that into account and call them merely 'sometime or onetime lawbreakers', then the good guys win out .

Aaakk! You got me MoonMad - I'd never heard of Luke Anderson. What is BlackJack:Sweet Science?

[redwinter101]

Oh this is turning into quite the debate!!! My view:

Good guys - Eric Fraser, Marshall Connelly, Kevin Hyatt, Andy Yablonski, Will Bryant, Mick St. John, Jack Flange

Bad guys - Michael Carter, Marcus Bohem, Russell Hayden, Vincent

Sorta both - Luke Anderson

Oh, dsr! You have a little treat in store for you. A very young Alex in a great role - simply incandescent with talent.

So, we can agree on those characters that are definitely villains -

Can you fill me in on Luke Anderson?
