THE FILM PERFORMER TOURNAMENT PART 3!

[dh1989]

Mr. Paul Newman won the last film performer tournament, but now it is time for a new winner to be declared. The rules are simple: Once TEN or more schmoes have voted for either actor, a match will close, I'll tally it up, announce a winner, and move on. This will go on and on until only two are left. They'll face off, and the winner of that match will be declared the winner. Easy? Good. And without further ado......

LET THE TOURNAMENT BEGIN!

VS.

CHEVY CHASE

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/0714-tea/chaseche.vy%23

Even in his "prime", I never found Chase that funny, while I think Keaton is a very underrated actor who I miss seeing in cinemas. He gets my vote!

I'm not a fan of either, but if I must choose, I pick Chevy Chase only because of the National Lampoon films....they are quite funny!

RODNEY DANGERFIELD

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Events/1071/dangerfield_rodney7

This is weird. I always thought Mr. Dangerfield was funny, but looking at his filmography, there are no films he has appeared in that I truly consider comedy classics, minus Moving, but he was uncredited. Crystal is also a funny man that has been in tons of comedy classics. He easily gets my vote!

Easy one. Eminem was excellent in 8 Mile, but that is just one performance. Chris O'Donnell is not the best actor ever, obviously, but he's okay, and gave an excellent performance opposite Hackman in The Chamber. He gets my vote!

[ColinM]

Ugh...Chris O'Donnell I guess. Both suck (Eminem did suck, it's just that everybody expected him to really suck and when he only sorta sucked, they all praised him) but Eminem (the person, not the music) pisses me off.

Chris O´Donell is not such a bad actor.He was nice in Scent of a Woman.Eminem was pretty good in 8 Mile, but he needs to do more movies so I can tell if he´s a good actor or not, he was basically being himself.
