Actors schmactors

by tess

The Hubs cannot distinguish between Kevin Kline and Harrison Ford. I’ve laughed at him for years about this. They look nothing alike, offer two completely different performances, and work in two distinct genres. I mean really different – Shakespeare in the Park versus Indiana Jones – kind of different.

I guess I’ve been with him too long because I’ve developed the same problem.

I can’t tell Bill Pullman from Bill Paxton from Aaron Eckhart. I mean I know that Pullman was the President in Independence Day, Paxton is in that HBO Mormon thing, and Eckhart is in the latest Aniston snoozefest. But they seem interchangeable to me. They each appear to be vaguely blondish but relatively vapid men who smile a lot. Maybe it’s the smiling. Men don’t seem to smile so much in Hollyweird. Smirk, glare, snarl, and grimace, sure, but not so much with the smiling.
