Yes, that's true. I think the Rock's a better actor than he is, though.

(Still nowhere near Ralph Fiennes or Edward Norton)

Out of curiosity, why compare The Rock and Triple H to Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton, specifically? Are the latter two joining the WWE?

Actually The Rocks Contract is up, he's no longer a wrestler, but yes, as an action star, the Rock is better than cripple H.

Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List was just awsome, as was Edward Norton in multiple movies (Fight Club, American History X).

Of course, this is my opinion and yours may differ. If you think other actors deserve more credit for their movies, then you're free to think that way. In my eyes, however, there is a difference in the quality of acting between the Rock and Triple H on the one side and Norton and Fiennes on the other side.

Mind you, I'm not saying that their acting's worthless. I've seen my share of Steven Seagal movies

</font>[/QUOTE]Um...there's no need for " and ". You did, in fact, compare them. I meant no offense in asking, really. I was just curious why those particular actors and there was nothing in the post to suggest why you chose them. So I thought maybe they were all going to be in a movie together or something.

And yeah, I think they're pretty good actors too. Nowhere near Meryl Streep and John Malkovich, though.

Would be something, now wouldn't it. Edward Norton combining effort with Triple H [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I wasn't offended in any way, Mopery, don't sweat. I did compare them, yes, but I don't consider the comparison to be justifyable in the least. I mean, why would I want to compare The Rock/Triple H with Edward Norton/Ralph Fiennes?? Every moron knows the first two would blow the latter two away acting-wise... Er... hang on

Anyway, I don't share your sentiment concerning Meryl Streep. Ever since I saw "The River Wild" her star dropped a million miles for me. Joseph Mazzello on the other hand, he was rocking big time in that movie (made his appearance in Jurassic Park look bad)
