[Ocelot II]

31. He did a very convincing Nixon even though he doesn't look like him.

Hopkins is very good at mimicking the mannerisms and speech patterns of the real people he portrays, so you don't really notice if there's little physical resemblance.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

46. Not to get all serious and shit, but Woody belongs in prison!

[yellowdogintexas]

Brilliant actor.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

57. Yep!

[Paladin]

58. I saw an interview with Hopkins on TCM.

He talked about the acting tips he got from Katheryn Hepburn during the shooting of "Lion In Winter"---he repeated some of them with a perfect imitation of Hepburn's voice. Such a talented actor.

[Upthevibe]

The astronaut, Capt. Sully, the guy on the pirate boat, probably more....?
