>“the greatest actor of his generation.”
Now that is something I have never heard. Those words all in the same sentence.
Just what is “his generation” anyway? What parameters of age encompass “his generation?”
And does that mean those in his general age group, or those who have and who are acting at this (his) time?
Sounds like an awful lot of actors for him to be on the top.
My wife and I, upon hearing this proclamation, both agreed that Tom Sizemore's acting generation must somehow be limited to him and a couple of people who were extras.
Although I did like him in both Private Ryan and Blackhawk Down. The character/real person he played in Blackhawk Down is someone I know personally (though not well) and admire very much.
