Actors in Character
Some  of the finest character actors in the English language gloat, fume, weep, and yowl in this entertaining photo-essay from TIME Magazine. Who knows how many takes each shot took, or how much warning each actor got, but one way or another each works up a thoroughly engaging expression for such Herculean portrayals as: "...an alcoholic who fell off the wagon at the company Christmas party, trying to remember if you offended anyone" (Jason Alexander), or "...a CPA at a strip joint" (Kelsey Grammer), or "...an L.A. girl gang member who has just been cut off on the 405 by a blonde in a Hummer on her cell phone" (Rosie Perez). In the first image, Chevy Chase moves from "you are realizing that the woman at the corner holding open her raincoat is wearing nothing else" to "hearing your adolescent daughter proudly announce that she's had 'something' pierced." Now that takes talent. (in Actors & Actresses) |
