And just WHAT do you consider to be a "BREAKOUT" movie?

I meant break out of the stereotype.

No, that's not correct at all!

A "BREAKOUT" role for an actor or actress is one where they are no longer an "EXTRA" or have a minor role and has either a a top of the kine supporting role or one of the leads and EVERYONE is awed and amazed by just how great a job he or she has done.

TYPECASTING is a problem for some; however, there is no such thing as a "breakout", nor even "TRANSITION", re acting on stage,screen, and/or on T.V.!

And as far as James Cagney and yes, Edward G. Robinson go, both played MANY different kinds of roles almost from the very start of their film careers!

You are very interested in and enjoy movies, but PLEASE don't post your own opinions as "FACT" and should someone else who KNOWS the facts, takes the time to post them, learn from that and stop trying to prove your point.
