I would like to see him use his talent

Vin Diesel

* darn it was hard to find a decent pic of him among those cheesy ones..

I know he has more talent than the stereotyped roles may have given the impression of. Here is a proof of it:

>> Multi-Facial short (1999) <<
(watch it 'til the end, the beginning is a bit boring)

Man can choose his roles as he pleases but personnally I would like to see him in a more challenging role. Or any role that does not cast him as 'blockbuster action hunk'. Now, don't get me wrong: there is an audience to that kind of movies and they are quite entertaining flicks BUT think of the possibilities man behind those roles could bring if given an entirely a different role?! For instance some small role as junkie or something else.. I can smell an award of some kind. Anyway, 'til that happens I have relatively high hopes of Hannibal and let's hope that is a bit better and more original than the other productions of late.

I would like to see him act against his stereotype

Michael Madsen



Let's give it a try:
I wish I would see him acting a good guy or a troubled guy with problems, preferably in some drama, maybe as a husband/dad/crippled/etc. which would give him depth and room to show his skills.

He's most often the bad guy. Or the cop (those umpteen & umpteen B-movies -check out imdb). He hasn't done anything spectacular in a long time (not counting Sin City) but he is one of those guys you never get tired of.

What I really wish, and it would be very very refreshing plus a good career move (even probably a nice change for himself as well) to see him act against those roles.

Update:
One smaller wish came true: to get him acting in an A-list movie
Hell Ride 2008 thank you Larry Bishop!

I would like to see him in a good movie

Marc Dacascos

It's a shame he doesn't have many good movies. He should have more movies like the Brotherhood of the Wolves (or better), not those cheaply made action films. However, what I like about the movies I've seen (where he is in), it has been quite nice to notice that those movies do not solely rely on martial arts (as the only source of action or plot).

My personal dream would be see him in a good martial arts film, preferably with some bigger names, like, for instance, Donnie Yen.

Here are few clips of him fighting. To my taste, in these clips, the fighting is shot quite nicely (maybe more on that someday in another blog entry), have fun!

* China Strike Force, clip 1
(the movie I only bought for these fighting scenes)

* China Strike Force, clip 2
(all martial artists in this movie would deserve to be shown more)
