Screenwriters and directors, note these fine actors with whom you would enjoy working.
PASSION
Gael García Bernal is passionate, full of fire and good intentions. Life-changing films the gifted actor has starred in are: Babel, Y Tu Mamá También, Amores Perros, The Motorcycle Diaries, and Bad Education. I can’t wait to see Blindness adapted from an eminent novel by José Saramago. Bernal is multi-lingual and speaks English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. Whatever role you have for Bernal, he will take it to the next level.
SENSITIVITY
Ryan Gosling; if you are a girl (or a boy) crushing on this one, once you meet him, you will be tethered for life. Quiet, humble, and sensitive, if you like him on screen, you will love him in person. Good films starring Gosling are: Lars and the Real Girl, The Slaughter Rule, and The Notebook. Even though he has worked with some poorly written scripts and under bad direction, he meets the challenges with superb acting. It is an enormous feat to take a bad script and make it look good; Gosling can do this.
HUMOR
Jason Biggs is not the raunchy ridiculous character of American Pie, he’s actually the quintessential Catholic mama’s boy (with a few splinters) — that’s how good of an actor he is. A true actor who works the stage and screen, Biggs could be an exceptional actor when given the right roles. Biggs is naturally funny, has a lot of soul, and never speaks unkind of people.
CLASS
Casey Affleck has been acting some 20 years without much recognition. Thoroughly impressed by his acting as Ford in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, I thought he was for sure going to take the Oscar until ol’ Javier Bardem swooped it up right out from under him (deservedly). It was unlucky timing for Casey with steep competition this year. The industry has been unkind to Casey under his brother Ben’s shadow. Casey is a diverse top notch actor. Without the ego, Casey allows his characters to gleam. Casey said that he had to work very hard to convince the director to let him have the part of Robert Ford. He nailed it. Filmmakers should be begging Casey, not the other way around.
Who are your favorites for passion, sensitivity, humor, and class?

You know which one of these fellows I’m crushing on. Here, let me write it down in your notebook ;)
I have to agree with what you said about Casey Affleck. He’s a little underrated, but he’s better than his brother Ben.

I have been fascinated with Gael Garcia Bernal from the time I watched him in Amores Perros. I think you have chosen the exact word to describe this talented actor- PASSION. In Motorcycle Diaries, I think he has stepped up and portrayed the role with such emotion and power that I was simply stunned. He is also quite an activist- he knows what he speaks of.
Ryan’s performance in Half Nelson is one of the best I have seen in years. I also thought he was awesome in The Notebook.
While I also would love to see Adam Brody and Michael Cera get into more challenging roles as comedians, I think Jason Biggs is in a class all by himself!
On Casey, indeed! Class!
Casey affleck REALLY surprised me after I saw The Assassination of Jesse James … he played the character so well as if he wasnt acting at all.. i just hope he keeps the same standard in his next movies.
I agree on the most part. However for the ‘sensitivity’ section i may have been pulling Gosling for Michael Pitt….hmm, dunno, its a toughy. Casey Affleck has been majorly, majorly underrated for a very long time. hopefully there’s no stopping him now.
I think my choices if I were to choose would be both Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger for both passion and sensitivity. Both Jake and Heath really have had a knack for portraying sensitivity so effortlessly in their movies. Which was certainly quite evident in both their portrayal’s in Brokeback Mountain. I would also pick Daniel Day Lewis in your class section.
to Jan: You won’t hear any argument from me on those! Nice.
