Hey Dan. Thanks for the feedback and lists on Adrien Brody. I have always thought he has done the least since winning his Oscar. I used to put him in the same category as Forest Whitaker, but my son says I am not giving Forest enough credit. I am surprised Brody is that highly rated on the Oracle list. Owen Wilson (all those Wes Anderson movies) is his most frequent Oracle co-star with 4 movies. Looking at the second list….his Oscar winning co-stars seems to be less than average when compared to other UMR subjects. Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
With the completion of this page…we are down to 4 Best Actor Oscar Winners that need an UMR page. F. Murray Abraham, Emil Jannings, Jean Dujardin and Roberto Benigni.
Cogerson, well done. thank you, thank you thank you.
Thanks bob cox.
