Posted: 3/24/12 at 7:28pmI cant stand him, why people keep on giving him work is beyond me. He is horrible to work with and that is on first hand knowledge!
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Does he have a beard? Or is it just the low quality of the picture?

Posted: 3/24/12 at 10:55pmAgreed. He's awful. Not sure why he has a career.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 3/24/12 at 11:06pmIf by that, you mean that he does a great job of acting like he can't act.

Posted: 3/25/12 at 12:00amNo I meant he is great at acting the part he is given.
#15Photo of Russell Crowe as Javert
Posted: 3/25/12 at 12:07amHe's a great actor at acting like he's acting when he's not acting in an acting role that requires him to act.
#16Photo of Russell Crowe as Javert
Posted: 3/25/12 at 12:08amHaha, I think he is a good actor. You don't. Established.
#17Photo of Russell Crowe as Javert
Posted: 3/25/12 at 12:09amI think he's a great actor. Awful man, though.
#18Photo of Russell Crowe as Javert
Posted: 3/25/12 at 12:10amI know which is why I hate that I think he is a good actor.
#19Photo of Russell Crowe as Javert
Posted: 3/25/12 at 12:15amI don't care what he's like in person. I think he's a great actor and not too hard on the eyes either. mmmmm.

Awful man = Javert!! Perfect casting. XD
Unless you "humanize" him as in the tour making him surprise you every time he pops out of nowhere--what happens when you take away the vital lurking in shadows, stalker quality from a character who is engaged in a form of that for 3 hours. Yikes!

Posted: 3/25/12 at 12:22amRegardless of his acting talent, that is a terrible hat.
#23Photo of Russell Crowe as Javert
Posted: 3/25/12 at 1:25amWhy would they give him a picture of a hat?

Posted: 3/25/12 at 7:19amWhether you'll like him or not, he's got the part and I can't imagine his presence in the film is going to stop any of you seeing the film is it? I think he looks great. I've actually found some of his tweets about some of the prep for the film and the choosing the horse etc really interesting.
