Reply to comment by throwthrowawaywithme in Which actor or actress could play any (or almost any) role in any movie? by h2oskid3

Nope. Sincere. I don't see what people see in Bale at all. He's good at what he does, and I'd even call it acting. But if you asked me if he was better than, say, Brad Pitt, I'd tell you he wasn't.

I mean, you could say you like Pitt and don’t like Bale. To say the guy is not much of an actor is just silly.

Not really. But a lot of people seem to think doing something big with your prep, or using make-up, makes you a great actor. Happens all the time. Look at Monster. Look at The Whale. Fraser is finally going to be recognised, despite his performance only being as good as every other time he takes to the screen. But we can't admit that. Instead we say that particularly performance was way better than all his others.

Hell, Ledger's Joker? Probably the worst role I saw him in

You’re right. Heath Ledger was horrible as the joker, you convinced me.

I didn't say horrible, just anywhere near as good as his other roles. Unfortunately for a lot of people it was one of only three roles they'd seen him in.
