My Take
Russell Crowe is, for my money, the last great old-school screen heavyweight. The run that brought him an Academy Award for Gladiator, followed by BAFTA and Golden Globe wins, has a density almost no modern actor can match. What fascinates me is his physical commitment: he acts with his whole mass, turning stillness into threat and grief into something you can feel in your chest. He sings, writes and produces, and his temper has cost him: in 2005 he was arrested for throwing a telephone at a New York hotel concierge, pleaded guilty and was conditionally discharged. Hollywood polish never quite domesticated this New Zealand-born bruiser, and I think that untamed quality is exactly why his best performances still land so hard, decades on.
