Can't quite put my finger on it.


Brandon Lee is very good in this film but the whole time I was watching it he was reminding of someone else. It was mainly from the way he spoke. Did anyone else have this or is it just me?

Also, if you have any idea who I might be thinking of do tell me. I'm going insane here!

The joker.

No, that's not it. I get that as well but there's a specific actor I'm thinking of (not Heath Ledger). Thanks anyway.

I think I get what you mean but I can't put my finger on it either, or a particular individual it reminds me of. There is someone though...

You might be thinking of the delivery -- I gather that Brandon was always taking acting classes as he was reportedly into upping his game as an actual drama actor and not just an action dude.

I think there's quite an influence of drama study in his performance in this film; he was big on deliberate annunciation and the dramatic pause. I like it, it works here.

He reminds me of Freddy Prinze Jr. Not in appearance so much as when Brandon spoke it sounded a lot like Freddie.
