Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and William Miller (Patrick Fugit) in Almost Famous.

Maximus from Gladiator would win my vote.

But that would mean that you'd be dead.

Don't do it!

I think that even when Kathy Bates plays an obnoxious or "mean" character her natural likable quality still comes out.

"What's a Nubian. Bitch, you almost made me laugh."


Yeah Jason Lee is pretty likeable in any part he has played in a Kevin Smith movie but i think Brodie wins over Banky (of his character in Dogma).

Nick Martin 03-04-06 05:02 PM

Brodie is certainly more likeable...but I loved every time Banky got angry in "Chasing Amy", as well.
His constant frustration was just too funny to me.

UAIOE 03-04-06 11:19 PM

Well if Banky getting pissed at being frustrated was funny, you'll be rolling at Alan Rickman as the Sheriff in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".

He's just so mad that things aren't working that its pure comic gold.

:thumbsup: For Alan Rickman.


I'll allso add Bill Nighy in "Love Actually". His petulant attitude was the best ever.
