Guilty as charged! Actor caught acting shocker! You'd never accuse Brozza of acting.
But the acting shouldn't show. That's the whole point.
...and yes I am well aware of Brozza's overacting.
Gimme Dalts bad acting over Brozza's acting masterclass any day
Neither are great screen actors.
Dalton is the better actor because of his intense stage training but even with him you sensed he was sometimes trying to sell the scene.
I'm thankful that Craig has taken us back to understated Bondian cool during dramatic moments, which was missing for a while during the late 80's and 90's imho.
I think I'm finally getting your sense of humor. Dalton was nowhere near the written page like his fans like to boast he was.
Dalton's dramatic look of surprise at Pam when he sees she's moving I'm less sure about.
I don't do humour - just cold, hard facts.
Dalton would put Craig to shame if they played scenes together.
Like Green did with Craig.
I knew it! Brosnans hair care routine single handedly damaged the ozone layer.
As for Craig, I could never accuse him of overacting. Has he ever played an actual robot? Because if he did, his would be the best robotic acting ever, he's had enough experience doing it.
@BondJasonBond006 - You beat me to it.
Roger and Tim both trained classically at RADA, and Tim later at the ....I forget which Shakespearean company, and Pierce at The Drama Centre.
Daniel started as a kid at National Youth theatre and continued training at Guildhall.
I don't believe any of them are method actors except possibly Daniel. Anyone have any info or feedback on that?
They all have their own little quirks and "acting habits"- hence Pierce's pain face. Actually, to me one of his trademarks is his tendency to shout, and that little "eh?" he punctuates lines with. One of my favorite Pierce-isms was in Around The World In 80 Days at the end when he's discovered he saved himself 24 hours by traveling in the direction of the sun. The way he shouts "ONE FULL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!" is so Pierce, I annoy my friends with it constantly, and am surprised it hasn't become as much catchphrase as his Taffin line.
Tim, in LTK does indicate a bit, especially his grimness expression. A sort of re-presentational style he's got down to an art. I always felt, though, throughout Licence, there might have been better takes used.
I do feel, Sean, Roger and Daniel are the champions of Bond when it comes to naturalness. Especially Sean. He's pretty subtle. Same with Roger.
If that's true would he have taken the role?
And Bond can be a bastard, but he is a likeable, honorable character with a very strong moral compass-- and doesn't feel guilty about his morality.
Where I don't agree with Dalton is when he said that "Bond was as bad as they (the villains) were".
Bond does have a conscious and is never depicted as mad or psychopathic.
I do feel for Dalton in the sense that he never really got to work with a director who saw eye-to-eye with him. I think Glen was still partly in Moore-mode when making both TLD and LTK and (possibly) missed Moore's more light-hearted personality onset.
There are no examples. I have read and seen it all.
And there is no evidence whatsoever in the films that he was uncomfortable in the role.
That's rubbish.
He is highly professional and always gives 100% of him into any role.
Some people just don't get good acting and think what Craig delivers is as good as Connery even, that says it all.
Well he resisted taking it for twenty years...
