Some actors you viscerally dislike<\/p>\n

Some actors you can take or leave<\/p>\n

Some actors you scorn, due to their lack of: talent\/sensitivity\/imagination<\/p>\n

And some you just love.<\/p>\n

Whatever they do, whereever they go, you love their mistakes, their embarrassments, their successes. You’re in it for the long haul. I could give seminars on how to be a proper fan, how to keep the love alive even when their star has fallen a bit, and their movies become ridiculous, tedious, terrible.<\/p>\n

This feeling goes beyond admiration. It is not intellectual. It’s from the heart.<\/p>\n

It can’t be explained rationally.<\/p>\n

All of this is to say, I saw some photos from an upcoming film, and felt a burst of excitement.<\/p>\n

And also love. Like: Yay, look at him go. I love you, dude! No matter what you do, where you go, I’ll be there<\/em>. He always – ALWAYS – gives me SOMEthing good – (well, maybe not always – there are a couple of films there … but MOST of the time – and you can’t say that about a lot of actors.)<\/p>\n

But like I said: the feelings I have for this actor transcend other concerns, which come into play when I “admire” other actors, as opposed to flat-out love them (i.e. Is the movie about something that interests me? Have I seen this actor do this type of role before? Who is the director?)<\/p>\n

With this particular actor, I don’t give a crap.<\/p>\n

I love the guy. Whatever he does, I’ll be there. He’s led me down some pretty awful pathways, it’s true, but that’s the thing about being a fan. That’s the thing about love. When you’re in<\/i>, you’re in<\/i>.<\/p>\n
