Cage is the best actor at playing alcoholics because he's the most disinhibited. Other actors are too afraid of embarrassing themselves, which is a fear that no drunk shares with them.

I'm surprised I don't see this scene more often cited as one of Christopher Eccleston's best moments as the Doctor. It's where I fell in love with his version of the character.

Not to be an old lady here, but I've often found that teenagers have neither the life experience nor the cognitive development to tell good acting from bad. This is a very good performance of an emotionally stunted manchild melting down because he didn't get his way.

@mseggy1 I like the take that Cinderella's strength as a character comes from traditionally feminine attributes, and those who complain she's not a strong character are equating strength with masculinity, which is its own kind of sexist.

So much of James Somerton's talk about "boring gays" feels like self-loathing projection in hindsight. He's a business and marketing guy, an intellectual fraud, and–I don't wanna be mean, but frankly he doesn't much exude sexual charisma.

Denzel Washington's race isn't integral to every role he plays, nor is Neil Patrick Harris' sexuality, nor is Peter Dinklage's height. You can cast a trans actor for no other reason than they're the best actor for the role, and not always necessarily because of their transness.
