	I have to agree with Gonk. It's not a criticism of Hackman. He has an amazing ability to project self assurance combined of course with that memorable voice. He was made for roles that require this kind of cocky, confident, competent persona, and he's been lucky to find a character that he can play at any age. Much harder to pull that off if you're an action hero. -----signature----- "As a Chicago sports fan you get used to disappointment."

	I think he means some actors act, and some play themselves. True, but Gene Hackman is not a good example of that. George Clooney, yes, in general. And very entertaining he is, too. Unfortunately, Reeves can't even play himself well.

	William Shatner You all know who he is, but have you heard him sing? Even though the "Star Trek" series has spanned many a decade, fans will always hold a special place in their hearts for William Shatner's Prime Directive breaking, fisticuff starting, womanizing hero James Tiberius Kirk. Shatner's Tek War book series show another side of the star's imagination and talent. Recently, William Shatner could be seen poking fun at himself and the "Star Trek" phenomenon in a series of Priceline.com television commercials and the feature film "Free Enterprise". He gained worldwide fame and became a cultural icon for his portrayal of Captain James T. Kirk, captain of the starship USS Enterprise, in the television series Star Trek from 1966 to 1969, Star Trek: The Animated Series and in seven of the subsequent Star Trek feature films. He has written a series of books chronicling his experiences playing Captain Kirk and being a part of Star Trek as well as several co-written novels set in the Star Trek universe. He has also authored a series of science fiction novels called TekWar that were adapted for television. Shatner also played the title veteran police sergeant in T.J. Hooker from 1982 to 1986. He has since worked as a musician, bestselling author, producer, director, and celebrity pitchman, most recently as the "Negotiator" for the Priceline.com travel website. From 2004 to 2008, he starred as attorney Denny Crane on the television drama Boston Legal, for which he has won three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award. As of 2009, Shatner stars as the voice of Don Salmonella Gavone on the animated series "The Gavones."

Much harder to pull that off if you're an action hero. I'm sorry folks, but I absolutely stand by my original statement. He's versatile. The character he plays in Coppola's The Conversation is anything BUT cocky and confident, and he did a superb job. He plays an incredibly introverted, paranoid, soft-spoken techie. When he's dancing in drag in The Birdcage, he certainly doesn't look confident and competent, he looks terrified and nervous. Is the blind man he plays in his Young Frankenstein cameo cocky and confident? Hardly. YMMV. Why is Hackman in this thread anyway? According to IMDB, he was born in San Bernadino, California in 1930. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000432/bio Shatner? I wanna fight William Shatner.

	We were discussing Keanu Reeves, and then suddenly someone mentioned Hackman and we were off to the races. I agree; Hackman is a versatile actor when he gets the chance. If all you are offered is "Welcome to Mooseport", he might not try too hard, though.

RX_Sith Title: C&G Game Host Registered: Mar '06	Date Posted: 7/9 6:30am Subject: RE: Famous Canadian Actors: Now Disc. Donald and Kiefer Sutherland
	Donald McNicol Sutherland, OC (born 17 July, 1935) is a Canadian character actor with a film career spanning over 50 years. He is currently working in the American television series, Dirty Sexy Money. Some of Sutherland's more notable movie roles included offbeat warriors in such war movies as The Dirty Dozen, in 1967, and MASH and Kelly's Heroes in 1970, and an overly optimistic health inspector in Invasion of the Body Snatchers in 1978. Career beginnings In the early to mid-1960s, Sutherland began to get small parts in British films and TV, landing notable roles in horror films with Christopher Lee, such as Castle of the Living Dead (1964) and Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965) and twice appearing in the The Saint, firstly in the 1965 episode "The Happy Suicide" and then, more auspiciously, in a story called "Escape Route" at the end of 1966. The episode was directed by the show's star, Roger Moore, who later recalled that Sutherland "asked me if he could show it to some producers as he was up for an important part... they came to view a rough cut at the studio and he got The Dirty Dozen. Thus, Sutherland was on course for the first of the three war films which would be his initial great successes: The Dirty Dozen in 1967, with Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson; in 1970, as the lead "Hawkeye" Pierce in Robert Altman's MASH; and, again in 1970, as tank commander Sgt. Oddball in Kelly's Heroes, with Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas. Filmography 1960s * Castle of the Living Dead (1964) * Dr. Terror's House of Horrors (1965) * Fanatic!

He is an Emmy Award- and Golden Globe award-winner. Career Stand By Me was the first film Sutherland made in the United States. As of 2008, Sutherland has appeared in more than 70 films, most notably The Lost Boys, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, A Few Good Men, Flatliners, Young Guns, The Vanishing, The Three Musketeers, Stand by Me, Eye for an Eye, Dark City, To End All Wars and A Time To Kill, The Sentinel and Mirrors. In 2005, Sutherland was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in Toronto, where both of his parents have also been inducted. Sutherland was also the first Inside the Actors Studio guest to be the child of a former guest; his father, Donald, appeared on the show in 1998. Sutherland was featured on the cover of the April 2006 edition of Rolling Stone, in an article entitled "Alone in the Dark with Kiefer Sutherland". The article began with Sutherland revealing his interest to be killed off in 24. However, he stated, "Don't get me wrong. I love what I do." It also revealed that he devotes 10 months a year working on 24. He has starred in Japanese commercials for Calorie Mate, performing a parody of his Jack Bauer character. Sutherland also provides voiceovers for the current ad campaign for the Ford Motor Company of Canada. These advertisements are thematically of the comedy genre. In mid-2006, he voiced the Apple Computer advertisement announcing the inclusion of Intel chips in their Macintosh computer line. He also voices the introduction to NHL games on the Versus network in the U.S. Recently, he has starred in Argentine TV commercials for Citroën C4 sedan. He has recently done voice-over for a commercial for Bank of America's "Keep the Change" program. He voiced Sgt. Reed Roebuck in Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War. Sutherland will executive produce the two-hour pilot of Phenomenon. Maggie Murphy will also be an executive producer for the show. The Sci Fi Channel ordered a script to be written. The show revolves around a mysterious young female prodigy who leads a crack team of experts in investigating odd and supernatural anomalies of nature.[6] Sutherland is currently the top celebrity producer of The 1 Second Film. As a big fan, he also narrated "The Feeling On Ice" documentary that was included on UK band The Feeling's DVD "The Feeling: Come Home". In 2009, he was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

	They're both very talented. Donald has great humanity and great reality; his definitive performance is in Ordinary People, in which he is exactly that, and beautifully so. Kiefer specializes more in grotesques; he could play a hell of a villain back in the day and he's managed to create an iconic hero by playing him as a borderline villain, just the way we like our iconic heros. Both great actors. -----signature----- Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine

	Donald can be a little campy. Kiefer is generally a heavy to light/heavy by nature.

	Martin Short He is a multi-talented actor, producer, writer, who brought to life such memorable characters as Ed Grimley, and perfectly evil impersonations of Jerry Lewis, amongst others. He's also done some voice work in animated films such as "The Price of Egypt", and "The Pebble and the Penguin", and has even hosted his own talk show. Of course, as you may all know, Martin Short was part of the stellar ensemble cast of SCTV Network 90, alongside other Canadian comics John Candy, Joe Flaherty, and Dave Thomas. Career Early career When Short graduated from McMaster University, he intended to pursue a career in social work, but he became interested in acting once he was cast in a Toronto production of Godspell in 1972 (among the other members of that production's cast: Victor Garber, Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas and Andrea Martin, with Paul Shaffer as musical director.) He was subsequently cast in several television shows and plays, including an intense topical drama, Fortune and Men's Eyes. (He worked solely in Canada from 1972 through 1979.) In 1979, Short starred in the TV sitcom The Associates about a group of young novice lawyers working at a Wall Street law firm. Short then joined the cast of I'm A Big Girl Now, a sitcom vehicle for Diana Canova in 1980. Canova was offered the sitcom due to her success playing Corinne Tate Flotsky on ABC's Soap, and she left the cast of the latter show in the fall of 1980 in order to accept the offer shortly before Short's newlywed wife Nancy Dolman joined it. SCTV Short was encouraged to pursue comedy by McMaster classmates Eugene Levy and Dave Thomas, both notable comedians in their own right. He joined Levy and Thomas at improv troupe The Second City in 1977. Short came to public notice when the troupe produced a show for television, called Second City Television or SCTV, which ran for several years in Canada and the United States. Short was a cast member and performed several recurring characters. He was a member of the troupe for several years before moving on to Saturday Night Live for the 1984-1985 season.[6] At SCTV, Short developed many characters which he later used at SNL: * Talk show host Brock Linehan, based on the Canadian interviewer Brian Linehan. * Aged songwriter Irving Cohen, loosely based on American composer Irving Caesar. * Spurious albino entertainer Jackie Rogers, Jr. * Current-events commentator Troy Soren * Industrialist and art patron Bradley P. Allen * Defensive attorney Nathan Thurm * Oddball man-child Ed Grimley. This character was later featured in his own animated television series, The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley. Saturday Night Live At SNL, Short helped revive the show after Eddie Murphy left with his many characters, including the Wheel of Fortune fan Ed Grimley he borrowed from his SCTV days. The Grimley character became perhaps Short's best known original character. He also was recognized for his impersonations of celebrities, notably Jerry Lewis and Katharine Hepburn, and for the character of Nathan Thurm. SNL proved to be the springboard to a long career in film & TV. Film After doing sketch comedy for several years, Short focused on film roles, appearing in many films, including Three Amigos, Innerspace, The Big Picture, Captain Ron, Clifford, Mars Attacks, and the 1991 remake of Father of the Bride as well as the sequel. In 2004 he wrote and starred in Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, with Jan Hooks as his wife, Dixie Glick. He also appeared as the comic foil for Santa Claus, playing "Jack Frost" in the 2006 Walt Disney film The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. Short was also in Pure Luck directed by Nadia Tass with Danny Glover and Sheila Kelley,[7] and in Three Fugitives directed by Francis Veber with Nick Nolte and James Earl Jones. Live performances Short also resumed work in the theater, taking a role in the 1993 musical version of the Neil Simon work The Goodbye Girl, receiving a Tony Award nomination as well an Outer Critic Circle Award. He had the lead role in the 1999 revival of the musical Little Me, which earned him a [[Tony Award] and another Outer Critic Circle Award. Short performed in his satirical one-man show (with a full cast of six), Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Broadway. The show toured several cities in the spring of 2006, began previews on July 29, 2006, opened on August 17 and closed on January 7, 2007. In it, he performed his aforementioned classic characters Grimley, Cohen, and Glick. As Glick, Short brought a member of the audience (usually a celebrity) on stage and interviews him or her. Jerry Seinfeld was the guest on opening night and the subjects have included Bill Maher, Kristin Chenoweth, Tom Burg, Regis Philbin, Neil Simon, Diane Keaton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Richard Kind, David Schwimmer, David Hasselhoff and many more. The show also featured parodies of many celebrities including Celine Dion, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Tommy Tune, Joan Rivers, Britney Spears, Ellen DeGeneres, Renée Zellweger, Jodie Foster and Short's wife, actress Nancy Dolman. The cast album was released on April 10, 2007 and is available from Ghostlight Records, an imprint of Sh-K-Boom Records. During 2008 and 2009 Short continues to tour his comedy show, which features many of his best loved characters and skits.

	Growing up I loved Martin Short on SCTV & SNL. He's got such a manic energy that I think you have to see him live to truly appreciate him. He's always funny on talk shows particularly on Letterman. His impressions can be deadly accurate, he was the first one I remember having a Robin Williams impression, which pretty much soured me on the real Williams forever. He also has a fabulous Paul Shaffer impression. Unfortunately his movie career has produced little quality. I think his best film is "Innerspace." It was probably his best piece of acting yet still comical. His other films are mostly him doing shtick, or for some reason being the straight man.
