Furlong's acting


I'm surprised none of the film criticism surrounding T2 has picked up on one of the major flaws. The boy's acting seems so poor to me, now. It's as if he is just reading out lines from the script. Is it just me who feels this way?

reply

The boy from Dick Tracey/Hook, Charlie Komsomo, was his first choice, but the actor declined. He’s a decent actor who would have done better with the dialogue.

And as for bad acting, I felt the script was weak for dialogue and Schwarzenegger wasn’t very good either.

reply

Charlie Korsmo, you mean. He was great in Dick Tracy, but he pretty much gave up acting after Hook.

reply

Yeah he wanted a childhood. It was 3 months of shooting for Hook and that's a big chunk of a kids life.

I thought thurlong was great.
