He nailed it in Close Encounters, absolutely nailed it. But I think the thing of it is, there is no Close Encounters if he doesn't crush the Matt Hooper role so well.
I have to give Close Encounters another shot. I watched it for the first time a couple years ago and could hardly keep myself paying attention to it. Maybe it was just the mood I was is but I was so bored.
Doesnt signature role mean the role they are most known for? Thats how Ive always voted in these. Doesnt mean it was their best job or the best movie. Jaws is the answer here.
I've taken it as a mix of most memorable role and if you could take one movie that would best represent that actor, what would it be?
It's funny you say that because I was honestly in the same boat for years and years. And I think for me, when I was much younger, when I saw that movie when it came out (compared with movies like Jaws, Star Wars, etc. that I saw in the same time frame) a lot of those other movies were big, action packed, fast moving movies. And those really grabbed my attention but Close Encounters bored me to tears at that age (10-12) and then it was on a bazillion times on the regular channels filled with commercials so it made it even harder to pay attention for a young person.
He sure is good as Dr. Leo Marvin though. Vicious murderer. Smart too- like a Hannibal Lechter.
