Why so 'cool'? Never struck me as that.


I honestly never understood this guys popularity. He didn't seem to care either way, I mean if its true he said he would have been a punk if he didn't make it as an actor well then there you go. I guess that's what makes him "cool", his not careing about anything. Seems like a loser attitude to me. I don't know how he got big but he was never one of of my favorite actors. in fact he always has the same expression and I never got how he became a sex symbol. the guy always came off as a bored, lazy wet noodle. the roles he played I always imagined would be so much better if someone else played them.

Realism, Remakes and Unnecessary Sequels are ruining movies!

Cool or not--and I'm not sure exactly what that means--but he had a powerful screen persona that gravitated upward, and he became a powerful star . . . the roles fit the persona he had . . .
