Eddie Izzard:


I wish to breed with him and bear his pear-hating, cake-eating children!

YES!!!

This man is such an incredible talent. I honestly only watched this film because I saw his name on it...and it worked. I've yet to see him in a role that he can't pull off, regardless of the genre or character theme. You laugh at his buffoons, fear his villians, and weep at the soft word of his gentler characters. Even when playing a poorly written role (i'm thinking "Torrence" from day of the triffids-this character is such a genius he thinks he can kill a tree by shooting it with a gun,) Izzard is so capable that he take that poorly written character and make you believe it.

as to the prior comment, while i don't wish to breed with the man, he's definitely among the top 10 people throughout history that i'd love to have brunch with.

Good Work on this film Eddie. Look forward to seeing you in future films. Ever consider working with others of your talent level? i'd love to see you do something with Forest Whitaker and/or Jody Foster. Not that i'm expecting it, just sayin'...

Well said, Jorgescarlisle! Agree with you completely on his talent and abilities, also on his desirability as a brunch companion. What a clever, clever lad he is! Can't wait to see what he does next. Whatever it is, it won't be boring!

I haven't always been a fan but I absolutely LOVED him in this movie!!! I discovered it by accident this morning when I couldn't sleep & I actually feel like a better person for having seen "Lost Christmas."

Ive always liked Eddie but have thought of him more as a comic actor but seeing him in this i was shocked at just how good he was as a serious actor ..this was one of his very best performances

Want to see him starring in something astonishingly good? Find OnDemand or rent the series The Riches. AWESOME. Will break your heart that it was canceled to early. He IS the manly man dude in this show, seriously... :)

I've recently heard a rumor that whoever is doing the remake of The Avengers would like to cast Eddie Izzard as John Steed.
Which would be perfectly AWESOME.
