    What an underrated actor. I wonder why he hardly got leading roles when he's perfect to play the leading man.

    • @mollytovxx4181
      @mollytovxx4181 4 года назад +176

      He said he looks for the roles that he thinks will be challenging or interesting, so maybe that's partly why he hasn't gone for some leading roles? Leading characters are often way less fun than secondary and supporting roles. I think he would be a really cool villain- not the smarmy jerkward type he has played before, but a real cold smart bad guy.

      He was sort of a lead in Enchanted. Like, his character was supposed to be a lead in a Disney movie but things got screwed up by his step-mother so he didn't exactly end up the leading male. But his leading male-ness still shone through and he was brilliant as the heroic prince. A perfect follow up to his tv host role in Hairspray. That was like the year of James Marsden.

He can do that in a beat if a role reacquire, he is that versatile and his dramatic/comedic timing is always on top. Also he seems like a good guy.

Amazing, I've seen him in so many films one after the other "oh, he was in that one, right!!" I guess I forget because he's just such a good actor, blends into the world perfectly. Love this guy!!

    Gotta say this: the singing in Enchanted is phenomenal. True love's kiss is one of the best Menken songs and as performed by Amy and James it's among the top best disney songs ever. Some of the best singing at Disney ever, too. Right, for male parts - Aladdin has awesome songs, mediocre singing compared to less-known Prince Edward, Hercules FANTASTIC songs, again not at the level of James' singing. Etc. In that 2 part harmony near the end with Amy Adams, he sounds like a professionally trained tenor, really above and beyond most other male singers/actors in animated disney reainessance movies. Live action - you got Luke Evans recently. Anyway, great stuff.

He talks several times in this video about how he just feels fortunate to be acting and is enjoying it, and we, the audience, can feel it. Looking forward to his next projects when this crazy situation we're in passes.

      Missed his character? I love Teddy, but his characters whole purpose is literally to be a punching bag. To be used. His purpose was to keep Dolores in her loop, and as MIB says, to be the loser. Then he is sort of forcibly awakened by Dolores, who then sees he won’t survive the way he is and tries to change him. The whole purpose of his character is for him to further Dolores’ storyline. I wouldn’t say it’s a misuse if that’s the whole point of him being in the show.

In the movie Small Apartment, take a listen to how great he sounds when his brother reads his letter (imagining it in his voice) after he died, and also when Billy Crystal played a tape he made for his brother regarding the meaning of life. His singing voice is amazing too, he has such a good range and can sing a different variety of songs. I couldn't believe it was him singing the jingle for Sarah Jessica Parker's "Lovely" perfume ad. Way to go James. So very talented.
