I don't even like Joker like that, but no he's not.

Gladiator
The Master
Her
Walk the Line
Inherent Vice

I just don't see that much range from him as an actor. He's always either a soft-spoken hero (Her, Inherent Vice) or a soft-spoken psycho (Gladiator, The Master, Joker). Not saying dude can't act, he can, I just think they put him over some actors who are much better than him (Leo, Christian Bale, etc.)

I'll be honest though, I also don't like how he comes off in real life, just seems like a pretentious fukk who takes himself too seriously, so I'm probably biased.

I mean, that's actors in general. But I know what you mean.

Every actor has a general disposition. There's literally only a handful who can really break mold and transform into someone unrecognizable:
  • Gary Oldman
  • Daniel Day Lewis
  • Don Cheadle
  • Johnny Depp
  • Samuel L (And I'm hesitant to say him)
  • Christian Bale
  • Philip Seymour Hoffman
  • Sean Penn
  • De Niro in his younger days.

Fair enough, most actors are pretentious. He really took it to the next level though with thos acceptances speeches about how he used to be a scoundrel and saving all the cow's milk or whatever the fukk he was rambling about:mjlol:

Maybe I should give dude a break, he was probably nervous accepting. I kinda can't help it though, there's just something about him that I don't like.
