JONATHAN PRYCE in The Two Popes
Although I've seen few of Jonathan Pryce's film roles, he did play a big role in a part of my life. When I got my first job at 16, I had a two hour, and three bus trip to and from work on the weekends. I spent that time reading, and listening incessantly to Price on the original Broadway soundtrack for Miss Saigon. I eventually saw the show on Broadway many years later, but Pryce had already left hs role as The Engineer.
ANTONIO BANDERAS in Pain and Glory

Antonio Banderas was one of the first actors I saw naked on screen. Although with renting the big screen hits, I usually stuck in a foreign film when renting from Blockbuster. I learned quickly a Mexican film with Banderas on the cover was likely to include a little male flesh.

ADAM DRIVER in Marriage Story
I love Adam Driver, his uniquely sexy look, and his unique personality as well. I have yet to bring myself to watch Girls, but have enjoyed Driver since first seeing him on-screen a few years ago in Inside Llewyn Davis and This Is Where I Leave You.

JOAQUIN PHOENIX in Joker
Like so many of this year's nominee's, Joaquin Phoenix began his career on television with roles on shows including Morningstar/Eveningstar, Hill Street Blues, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and as you can see from the image above, a turn with Angela Landsbury on Murder She Wrote. The first time I saw the Joker was in the 1995 film To Die For. I went for Nicole Kidman and Matt Dillon, but Phoenix was great, and very hot, in the film.
