James Spader Appreciation Thread #1 - We Loved Him in the 80s and We Still Love Him!
:star: :star: James Spader Appreciation Thread :star: :star:
http://l.yimg.com/eb/ymv/us/img/hv/p.../sundance4.jpg Biography Actor James Spader was known for playing intriguing deviants in a number of acclaimed independent films in the 1980s and 1990s before his magic touch with morally ambiguous outsiders found its way to television on “Boston Legal” (ABC, 2004- ). Spader began his career playing a series of unsympathetic yuppie types in the era of the shamelessly wealthy, then put films like “Wall Street” (1987) and “Less Than Zero” (1987) behind him in favor of exploring man’s attraction to danger – often sexual – in acclaimed indie films like “sex, lies, and videotape” (1989), “Crash” (1996) and “Secretary” (2002). In 2003, he was handpicked to shake things up on David E. Kelley’s stale law drama, “The Practice” (ABC, 1997-2004), before being given a starring role as lawyer of questionable ethics in the spin-off, “Boston Legal,” for which he earned several Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.

Anyone a fan? Love him. He's good at playing bad guys. Even though he often plays the bad guy, I can't help but like him.
Edit: Maybe we already have a thread for him? I can't remember. :look: |
He was good at playing the jerk(Pretty In Pink, Mannequin), but I have heard from others that he is actually a very nice guy. It seems like it's the nice guys who are so good at playing bad. Lol.
|
Haha!
I'm glad he is still acting unlike some 80s celebs. |
REUNION ALERT!!!
I just saw on Access Hollywood last night that James is co-starring in a new family adventure type film called "Shorts". His co-star?. None other than fellow Pretty In Pink-er Jon Cryer. |
thats pretty cool..do you think they still like talk to each other?
|
I have no idea, but it's kinda cool to think of them together in a new movie since the 80s!. Lol.
|
Sounds like fun.
|
I :love: James!
|
He's really good. I love him in most of his movies.
|
Me too. I really like him in Less than zero.
...and also, he has great hair. |
He was great in LTZ, but I wasn't crazy about the movie.
|
Let's bring back the James love.
|
Lol. Haven't seen him in a while.
|
Me either. I used to see him since he was on Boston Legal. I have no idea what he's up to now.
