I love Jason Bateman. He is a natural comedic actor with impeccable timing and can pull off a top notch drama character. For a guy that has been in the Hollywood spotlight his entire life, he seems so down to earth and a sweet guy.

Agreed, he is actually my favorite comedic/dramatic actor out there. I watch the movies that I don’t think I expected to be very good, but just because Jason Bateman was in them I thought “they can’t be bad” & they weren’t.

@anthonybalzarini-leonhart8562 Жыл бұрын

And how about Bateman in Arrested Development? His straight delivery and sympathetic character are brilliantly acted, in my megalomaniacal opinion.

@robin31165 Жыл бұрын

@@anthonybalzarini-leonhart8562 he made that show! Granted, the whole premise of the show was fantastic, the entire cast was fantastic & somehow (and you wouldn’t expect so) the show just ‘worked’, plus it’s one of the few who came back after all those years & was still good! I started this by saying “Jason Bateman made that show”, but then talk to myself into “everyone & everything that went into that show me that show”.

Long before that. Since Little house on the Prairie. which was 10 years before that. This man has been around since he was probably seven or so. If I remember correctly from that show. I’m pretty sure he was 11 or 12 on Silver Spoons. Possibly 13 or 14. Pretty much his whole life he’s been on screen. Not many people can say that. And he is still going strong. And amazing actor and could easily be a great comedian. I mean he already is, but I don’t think he’s ever done standup. Which I would love to see.

Some people are just inherently comical at their very essence. They simply express themselves naturally and are humorous, if not hilarious basically by happenstance. When you combine a self=awareness of this gift with razor sharp wit and attunement to irony as if it were a sixth sense, you get Jason Bateman. The man is impossible to observe without at least a smirk at bare minimum.

I was watching the tv show "Cannon" episode s05e23 ("Bloodlines"), and I noticed that the guest actor Robert Drivas looked a lot like Jason Bateman. He even almost sounded like Jason, too. It is almost as if Jason Bateman time traveled to the 70s and auditioned for that part under the name Robert Drivas. That is pretty awesome.
