James Dean appeared in three major movies in his lifetime, one of which was released after his death. It's said that he did not even finish filming Giant, so they did voice over with someone that sounded like him. In Dean's case, it's quality over quantity...his performances in just those three movies might make a comparison to that of an actor's performance today. Today's acting doesn't show as much emotion as Jimmy did in his movies. He had a lot of acting talent which we can clearly see from East of Eden, Rebel Without a Casue, and Giant. |
