I have to agree that Johnny Depp is a fine actor--haven't seen the movie
you mentioned, yet, though.
But I think good old Leo deserves some credit. He was Incredible in
"What's Eating Gilbert Grape." I think he did pretty good in Romeo and
Juliet, too. He's just become so mass mediafied that he's hard to take
seriously anymore. I think he would have made a good Holden--for some
reason he seems close to the visual image I've always had of Holden.
Maybe a little too pretty, I don't know...
I see Will Smith as having suffered the same fate. His performance in
"Six Degrees of Separation" blew me away. I didn't know he was capable
of such depth. But I haven't seen it anywhere else from him, either...
