Poll: farthest fall from tough-guy to oaf
The idea here is some actor who generally used to come off as a complete badass, but is now something of a laughingstock in their advancing years. IE - I think Willaim Shatner's Priceline commercials and Henry Winkler's role in Arrested Development are pretty funny. But you have to admit they don't exactly command a lot of respect. Especially when you think back to their younger incarnations as Kirk and Fonz.
I also find it interesting that some characters like Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, or Sean Connery have retained all of the badassness, if not picked up a little more along the way into old age. I'm curious as to what qualities in an actor/person would cause one to slide one way or the other. IE - I'm not particularly a badass in any way right now, but I'd hate to slip into a laughing stock bumbler by the time I'm 60. Ok that's stupid. Anyway, please discuss this concept and feel free to point out any other toughguy/bumblers that I may have missed. Figures in sports and music, anything image/fame related are eligible too. I just can't think of any off the top of my head. . |
