[catfish1957]

My opinion....

Best....

(1) George C. Scott. Great actor, great peformance.

(2) Alstair Sim... same as (1), except Sim got caught up in a little overacting in a few scenes.

(3) Kelsey Grammar.... Just another example of the versatility of a great performer, Whether it is Frasier, Ebeneezer, or the the Boss.

The worst??.....

(1) Any of the saccharin Halmark TV versions

(2) Patrick Stewart.. Too typecast as a starship captain to be taken seriously. Is it me, but anything by Stewart that isn't ST, is treated like a Shakespearen blowvata.

(3) Bill Murray. Role corresponded to the time of the steep career decline of what was a great comedic actor.

I cant't get past Patrick Stewart's America hating stance to enjoy anything he does!!

I would say it was the start of his commercially successful film decline. He has done quite a few fine indie films, and is still a great comedic actor.
