Best acting performance? - Paul Newman Discussion

So many great roles. Hard to choose. Early Newman--Hombre (1967), Middle Newman--The Verdict, Late Newman--Road to Perdition (2002).

1967 is hardly "early Newman". By then, he'd been in movies thirteen years, and television drama several years longer.

Hombre for me. But he was in so many great films over so many years.

You might be surprised by my choice, but his performance in Slap Shot is amazing.

Just a ace of a script.

Not many actors could pull off that role.

He was assisted greatly by the fine performance of Kennedy.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77377) 4 years ago

Yes on all points
Kennedy was brilliant

One of the best rebellious movies ever
