Guess that makes me the odd tool in the shed because it's supposed to be a great film and whatnot, blah blah. ITON is a gem, however, that reveals something new every time I rediscover it, and Gable's character in that film is genuinely "loveable".)<BR/><BR/>But other than that, great list Susan. I agree with you 100% about Hugh Grant. I had never liked the stuttering doofus act, and he seemed to repeat it in every film in the 80's and '90's. (In Sense and Sensibility I was about to cheer that he was finally acting in a role and not falling back on the stutter - until he did. Pooh.)<BR/><BR/>Then I saw Bridget Jones and boy did I ever sit up and take notice. I guess it could be argued now that, once again he has fallen into a "type" (About a Boy is another loveable cad) but it's a so much more interesting type than the last one, and allows interesting variations within the type. He's not an actor with much range anyway, but he finally projects genuine charisma and sex appeal and I think the movies are better off for it. <BR/><BR/>-RSDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-16169801181829469202007-04-20T14:56:00.000-04:002007-04-20T14:56:00.000-04:00Personally I find Clark Gable's character in It Ha...Personally I find Clark Gable's character in <I>It Happened One Night</I> to be the definition of the lovable cad.

The one rule I gave myself was that it had to be a performance I'd seen, versus going on "reputation" (such as Michael Caine in <I>Alfie</I>. <BR/><BR/>It's funny because the actor that inspired me to pick this topic, Clive Owen in <I>Closer</I> is someone I decided not to include. Just a little too nasty--though I love him. <BR/><BR/>On the opposite end, I was arguing with a friend (who gave her input while I was writing this) about Han Solo--is he really I cad? I think so, but that's why I qualified this with "lovable."SusanPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09247068663993460537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-38517642947440470612007-04-18T00:47:00.000-04:002007-04-18T00:47:00.000-04:00Yes, great list, Susan.

And, I have to say that Hugh Grant came to my mind immediately before I even scrolled down, so I'm glad that he was included and for more than one movie since he had the corner on lovable cads for quite a while there.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!mistyh92104https://www.blogger.com/profile/05527208713016039669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-49564305901070331932007-04-17T14:09:00.000-04:002007-04-17T14:09:00.000-04:00Or Michael Caine in Alfie, or Michael Caine in Sle...Or Michael Caine in Alfie, or Michael Caine in Sleuth...I think he specializes.<BR/><BR/>This is an excellent list.
