Yeah, Al Swearangen was a despicable character, but that feeling towards the character rather justify his success. Damian Lewis indeed managed to create that sense of leadership. I couldn't help to respect character despite whether everything was true or skewed (of which I don't care). Yeah, been awhile for quite some time, indulging myself in gaming and watching long Japanese series (historical ones).Glad to be able to post again. ^_^E.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12092831257971911126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32573353.post-84643627817666557272008-12-14T20:59:00.000-08:002008-12-14T20:59:00.000-08:00E.F., it's been a while.

Damian Lewis was amazing in that role, but the real-life Dick Winters is to thank for being such an interesting and TV-worthy individual.<BR/><BR/>I must say I have never watched Star Trek TNG or CSI so I can't comment on those. <BR/><BR/>As for Al Swearengen, I can't say I loved him because I despised him so much. But that was because Ian McShane played him so well and he was written so well. He would do great on a Fave Villains list which I would love to write later on.<BR/><BR/>I am not familiar with Matsushima Nanako but I will have to see if I can find out what you mean. I hadn't realized that of my whole list, only 2 were female.Linz McChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552277903004765691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32573353.post-12443251801470187142008-12-14T20:29:00.000-08:002008-12-14T20:29:00.000-08:00Unfortunately I haven't watched those listed on yo...Unfortunately I haven't watched those listed on your fave list. But I have mine too. Perhaps the most memorable is Richard Winters from Band of Brothers. He displayed maturity and natural leadership. Then Capt. Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek TNG, a similar leader character with great cultural interest. Ian McShane's Al Swearengen swore a lot in Deadwood. But that's what made him a charming yet brutal and funny character as well as pitiable. Newer series hardly impressed me. Only William Petersen's Gil Grissom deserved the mention. A leader and fatherly figure to the team, it was regrettable that he decided to quit the series after 9 seasons. Now I'm not a leader-role fanatics. It's just happened that the above actors were able to fit perfectly to the role. As if they were not acting. Another oldie was Jim Profit, played by Adrian Pasdar. A cunning and ruthless corporate employee that would do anything to reach the top. Perhaps a bit above Dexter, but this one damaged people's lives for power.<BR/>No actress from western series, though. But recent exposure to Japanese dramas made Matsushima Nanako as my favorite actress. Her role as Maeda Matsu so far unrivaled by anyone else. I believe she managed to utilize her acting rather than the script to perfectly played the role. Just a gaze from her and the men would yield. I think you should check out Toshiie and Matsu sometimes.E.F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12092831257971911126noreply@blogger.com
