Default Re: Actors who practically \"sing\" their roles

Martin Sheen on the West Wing (during the Sorkin years, at least). When he gives a presidential speech, it's like a song, and you can tell because of the way it is stored in your brain; it's easy to memorize, you do it without trying, like when you listen to a song a few times then notice that you have the whole thing stored long-term.

Though a lot of that is the writing, and I'm trying to think of someone from a non-Mamet, -Sorkin, or -Chayefsky source.
