He wont...I saw him on Inside the Actor's Studio, and he doesn't have ANY desire to do something like that...

Pretty interesting, he says his best work is during rehearsals...cause when the camera turns on, he gets nervous...

Actually, Affleck can be a very good actor. It all depends on the role. He's one of those guys that can play different kinds of roles, but he needs to fit properly.

He was GREAT as the idiot/jock in Dazed and Confused, played a hilariously arrogant and self-righteous Holden in Chasing Amy, and was pretty believable as the ******* manager of Fashionable Male in Mallrats, just off the top of my head.

Hugh Grant is a good actor. Keanu is neither good nor hot. (Sorry, 32, but we already knew we had different taste in men. :) )

Agree with Melanie Griffith. Sucks!

That Jessica Simpson chick drives me nuts with her show with her new husband. Puke. Am so tired of hearing about her.

Yup, you are correct...not sure how good that was, doubt it was something he'd like remembered :)

Even though it was interesting, Desperate Measures wasn't that good. Although it was considered a "thriller", he was still a nice-guy doctor.

That was Extreme Measures. Desperate Measures was the Michael Keaton - Andy Garcia flick where Keaton was the serial killer who Garcia needs as a bone marrow donor to save his dying son, then he escapes blah, blah, blah.

Easy mistake to make. I hate how Hollywood keeps regurgitating movie titles. They are afraid of anything original most of the time. Like changing Metal God to Rock Star. Weak.

PS - I thought Extreme Measures was pretty good. I liked Hugh Grant in that movie also.

Worst actor has to fall to Keanu Reeves. I'd put Van Dam up there as well as Slyvester Stallone.

After seeing There's Something About Mary, I thought Brett Favre sucked as an actor...but he redeemed himself with the Michael Strahan record-setting sack. Now that was acting! :D
