    Nighy's classic rocker send-up in "Still Crazy" voids the notion he "always plays himself."

      Absolutely agree. I haven’t seen him on stage but really l don’t have to. I love his voice. His radio series are enough. As a PS Bill, Just wish you didn’t look so very pale - get some sun or VIT D!

    It's funny about the lines. I can practice my lines until I am blue in the face, but they don't sit until I step onto the stage in rehearsal, look the other actors on the face, and hear what they are saying. So yes, the work starts once everyone is there. Once the other characters show up and we start living and breathing the scene together.

      Rarely. But there are barely any actors who can do that. He plays himself but with such convincing humanity in his performance that he makes characters believable and realistic. And if you compare his voice acting in Rango, to his performances in Underworld, to Davy Jones in Pirates and to his comedy-drama stuff... Well, you'll see he's got quite some range.
