His work isn't all glower. Even though he hasn't smiled in a movie since the underrated 'Proof' in the early 1990s, Mr. Crowe is given to a hurt swallow when he's uncomfortable and to a look of suffering in his eyes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think Russell Crowe is a brilliant actor.
Russell Crowe is very difficult, but it's worth it. He's the real thing. I can tell you this. Russell Crowe was just as difficult before he was an international star as he was afterwards.
Let's face it: Russell Crowe is fat and no one ever talks about it.
You can't believe Russell Crowe is the same actor who won an Oscar one year ago for Gladiator.
When an actor commits himself to a role as fully as Russell Crowe does in the grandiose and silly 'Gladiator,' you may ask yourself why and at the same time thank him for his absorption in the part.
I'm not Russell Crowe. I'm not going to do a period piece.
Once you don't smile on film, they say, 'Let's have that bloke who doesn't smile.'
I made so many jokes about poor Russell Crowe, he once knocked on my dressing room door, and told me he wanted to go out on this chat show we were on to laugh with me. Now he's ruined it. I can't make another joke about him.
Whether you know who Denzel Washington is or you don't, when he walks into the room, you're going to pay attention, because he's just such a powerful man.
Cameron Crowe can write dialogue and shoot it with warmth and humor like nobody else.
