Are there any actors who have the look these guys did?
Today’s actors are too purty.

One of the reasons I really don’t cotton much to new movies... the actors seem too self-consciously chiseled, they make all these calculated stances and looks, something about their comportment invariably reeks hollow.

I’m not saying the older actors are necessarily better in terms of aesthetics or traditional measures of talent. Yet, you see guys in old films and tv, like Neville Brand or Richard Boone or the like... they seem REAL. They seem like people who have lived and experienced full-blooded life. You see it on their faces. Ultimately I find them tremendously more relateable, more fascinating to watch.
