Best monolouge for actors...


The lawyer's story of his daughter after being bitten by baby spiders is an amazing, mesmerizing story and if you can relay that story to a casting director in any way close to what Ian Holm did...you'll get noticed.

I am a man and I would gladly give birth to a baby if it were Keira Knightley's.

I absolutely agree. I watched this movie today and I can't stop thinking about it.
Ian Holm's delivery was beautiful to the point of heartbreak.

Agreed. Another great monologue I saw recently was in Bergman's Persona - the one where the nurse is telling the story about her experience on the beach.

The scene was mesmerizing, mostly due to the excellent delivery by Ian Holm

Ellen Page is so Hot , and I'd hit that harder than she was hit in An American Crime.
