Clive Owen might be a nice guy, and he's getting critical
acclaim for his Children of Men, but I defy you to tell me if
he's ever shown an emotion in a movie. He walks through all
of his films with wooden vacancy. He would've been terrible
as James Bond and he'll be even worse as Philip Marlowe.
Also, has he EVER cracked a joke?
Interesting question: Which living, working actor SHOULD play
Philip Marlowe? And I don't mean like "James Caan 30 years
ago." But which actor RIGHT NOW?
Just off the top of my head, I would suggest Russell
Crowe, even though he's not very popular right now. He showed
the weight and '40's believability in LA Confidential. And he
showed a lighter side, but still a dominating one in Master
And Commander.
