- i'm not saying it's a fault, per se. he understood his brand and worked it for all it was worth -- nm - moles, ex-federal agent Feb 17, 11:00
But he's not as bad as Jack Nicholson in this regard. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 10:57 2
- nicholson only became a self-caricature in the latter stages of his career - moles, ex-federal agent Feb 17, 10:59 1
  - nicholson is the polar oppostite of wayne--he overplays every character pretty much all the time....nm - x Feb 17, 11:00
