Tim Roth

I'm a really big fan of his. He's one of those men that can
play an unattractive nerd and a hot guy both convincingly.
He has a chameleon-like feature to him, thanks to his superb
acting chops too. I must say, with makeup, he can really be
unrecognisable. I'm always wondering why Hollywood never
came knocking for him. He's obviously pretty boy-ish enough
and he's a great actor, even if he can’t quite master the
American accent. Yet he seems to get the short end of the
straw all the time. It's not like he has a solid artistic
integrity anyway. Hell, he did The Musketeer. He even said
himself: "I have a bad time between jobs because I'm always
convinced I'll never work again. I think it may be an
English thing, this fear of unemployment." So he obviously
takes whatever he can get. The only thing he ever turned
down was "Sid & Nancy", because he's a big Sex Pistols fan
and he thought the movie was too close to Sid's death. Why
nobody ever gives him anything good is a wonder. But he's
not fully innocent either. He was the first choice to play
Snape in the HP movies. He dropped out to be in Planet of
the Apes. Probably the dumbest thing he ever did.

And does anyone else think that he could have made the
perfect Constantine instead of Keanu Reeves?

I think he could have made the perfect Fred Arctor instead
of Keanu Reeves in a Scanner Darkly.

I really want to see The War Zone, although the people i've
talked to, the reviews have been mixed.

There are 10,000 out of work actors for every Tim Roth. I
don't feel sorry for him. He's doing fine

"And does anyone else think that he could have made the

Yes, he would of been ideal in that.
