The defining film role
Have you ever seen a movie, where the actor was so absolutely perfect for the role it blew your mind?
There are a LOT of good actors.There are a LOT of good movies.There are a LOT of good characters.Rarely do the three come together.That's magic Jack Nicholson as Colonel Nathan R. Jessup in "A few Good men" Behold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5j2F4VcBmeo |
