oh my god, DS is so like the ross he plays in friends in this film, anybody else notice this?

Joe

p.s. so does this one style of acting show how poor he is at acting other parts?

He *was* very "Ross-like" at the end when he started whining. But from the beginning up until that point, I didn't see many "Ross" qualities at all. I always have, and still do think DS is the best "actor" of the six when it comes to acting range and talent. I think the reason he tends to be underrated(sp?) is because people have a tendency to write-off an actor's talent when he/she plays a character that people find unlikeable or annoying(i.e. Ross).

Disturbingly so. It was a bad version of TOW the Morning After.

No. It shows that he's typecast. But he's played dope fiends and villians, who are very much unlike Ross, onstage to great reviews; one critic who had only ever seen Ross expressed surprise at finding out David could act. He stretches well for Breast Men, too.

Well, not unlike Matthew Perry... he is always cast as a Chandler act-alike.

"Fools rush in", "Whole 9 yards" and "Three to tango"... could he BE more chandleresque in those movies?
