Caleb Landry Jones is an excellent actor. Needs to go far in the field.


After watching the other day Wolf of Wall Street with some of the horrible big actors of the day, Leonoardo Dicrap-io, and the fat one Jonas Hill, I cant help but hope that this actor goes far in the field. I saw him in Antiviral and he just delivered a stellar genuine interesting performance. It's nice to see that some true talents with actual inner depth, something in them to express, and some actual human qualities that make them interesting to watch, somehow are able to find their way into the increasingly talentless industry of Hollywood, even today.

I agree that Caleb is going to become a star, the fact I didn't even recognise him from X-Men when I watched Byzantium or even realise that he wasn't British is testament to his skill, I'm gonna look out for him. You didn't have to rubbish Leo, though, after the likes of Catch me if you can, The Aviator and Blood Diamond he has more than proved that he isn't just "that pretty boy actor".

In 'What's eating Gilbert Grape?' his performance of a handicapped teen in one of his first roles would have got him an Oscar if the role wasn't so short.



Ya Kirk-loving Spocksucker!

Surprisingly he was a very good actor when he was young. He gave an Oscar worthy performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. However that was Leo before his head grew out of control and before he committed himself to living a phony shallow lifestyle with no real life substantial experiences on which he can draw from as an actor. He just plays himself today. Leo as a sex crazed shark money boy. Leo as a rich playboy backstabber, etc. He's an awful actor. There's nothing in his eyes. He's a studio investment, a marketed cult of personality. No talent at all.

We must be watching a different person.
