●^● 熱き思い

本当に色んな役を演じてますよね。ドン・キングにドラッグクイーンに警官に強面ギャングに... 一番印象に残るのはやはりドラッグクイーンを演じた「Holiday Heart (2000)」ですが、デビュー作になる「Go Tell It on the Mountain (1985)」も印象的でした。「Rosewood (1997) 」の強さも良かった。そっくりそのままドン・キングになりきった「Don King: Only in America (1997)」はビックリ。その演技で認められて、ゴールデン・グローブ賞を受賞した時に、同じカテゴリーでノミネートされていたジャック・レモンをステージに上げて、スタチューを渡してしまったのも印象に凄く残ってます。
