Who is your fav tele or film Character?

I love House, he has a wry wit which cracks me up. And he acts like he really doesn't give a toss as far as what people think of him. But you know deep down he does. Anyhow he is odd but get's the job done and that's why he is so lovable.

Past would have to be Archie Bunker. And yes I hear him and Sammy Davis were really pals lol.

Current films, I love what they've been doing with Spider Man. They've kinda blown Batman a bit IMO. I guess I should see more movies.

As far as the past for films. I would have to say Dirty Harry. Clints my number one actor, Wayne and Bogie 2nd and third.

"I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"

BTW, I think I've seen every film Eastwood has done, some many times because you can watch him more than once. I guess that's a fan I dunno

I love House too, but my favorite (and most missed) tv character of all time is Frasier Crane; I'll never forget how hard I laughed when he tried to speak at his son's bar mitzvah in Klingon!! :hysterical: I used to watch Knots Landing back in the day too, and Abby Fairgate and Greg Sumner were always a lot of fun to watch too :)

Film would definitely be James Bond and Indiana Jones!

Great choices wbd. I loved SOTL and LOTR. Those last two look interesting. Well time to collect a cork or 20 :)

BTW, that's one screwed up look on V for Vendetta, what was he Psycho or what?

Heath Ledgers version of The Joker. A classic in movie history.

I hear he's good in it. I am waiting for the DVD. Spats? You are yanking everyones chain right?

Never been to Toronto, was supposed to be there for the last Zepfest and couldn't make it.

A bit of a clarification. I have no big issues with Spats. People find a niche and they take off on it.

Easy enough. I think he probably has a dozen back door ho's though.

TV- I love Dot on "Eastenders" and Sheldon on "The Big Bang Theory." I have to agree with Spats re: Heath Ledger's Joker- really really weird and gets under your skin.

I forgot-- that new show "Fringe" is awesome, and the old scientist character the FBI sprang from the loony bin to help with their bizarre cases is really a great actor, IMO.

I love "Fringe". Walter is what kept me watching in the first episodes. Now I'm hooked. John Noble is a great actor. He also played Denethor in LOTR:Return of the King.

In Movies, I loved John Candy's character in "Uncle Buck", he was really funny, sweet and tough, all at the same time.

Also, Liked Steve Buscemi's character in "Con Air". Creepy, you just didn't know what was going to happen next, well played by Buscemi. It gave an otherwise bland movie, some edge.

Oh my, I love this topic.

As for tv, I can't say that any character in recent tv history would get my vote.

On that note, I'd say, one male and one female:

Male:

and female:

I-Love-Lucy-Fake-Nose.jpg

As for movie Characters:

Female:

Scarlett O'Hara, clearly.

and

As for male characters in movies,

Any John Wayne Character and

and

I thought I would have seen Stamos up there as 'Uncle Jesse' from "Full House" or at least as 'Blackie' from "General Hospital". How fickle is the heart...
