1. I love Jeff Bridges!!

He's definitely an under-appreciated actor. I'd love to see more of him....hubba, hubba. :evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

2. Dude.

[sasquatch]

3. I wonder how the little dude is doing?

4. *thumbs up*

[Swede]

5. Happy birthday dude.

Well, they finally did it. They killed my fucking car.

[kwassa]

7. He is a superb actor.

He really doesn't get the roles he deserves. The best of the Bridges family.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. Not a fan of Beau? nt

[kwassa]

11. Beau is o.k., he always plays schlubs.

I think Jeff has more power and forcefullness as an actor.

I saw Jeff up close once at a environmental rally in Los Angeles.

8. One of my favorites...

Happy Birthday!

[underpants]

10. Highly underrated for the gigantic movies he has been in

I know everyone around here LOVES the Dude (eh okay movie for me) Bridges has chosen his parts well and very far between mostly.
