Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
Welcome to the group of Rory stalkers *cough* i mean obsessive fangirls *cough* i mean, i'll just shut up now
anyways, seeing Rory play a gay person would be interesting. but i'm sure he could play it perfectly

Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
^ I actually think Rory could play any role he's given. He has excellent comedic timing (Ie: Empire Records, Dazed and Confused, The Prime Gig, A Scanner Darkly, etc) but he's also able to portray a serious role like in CSI:Miami or RAYD.
I'd really like to see him get into something light-hearted. Don't get me wrong, I love it when he's kicking ass in a serious role because he just pulls you into all the elements as he acts and makes it seem so effortless, but I know he has a sense of humour in there.
Megan, I really like that suggestion. I was also thinking we should have one of the Speedisms as a thread name, lol.

Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
Yeah, that's the great thing about Rory (well, one of them). He can play any role. He isn't one of those actors that always plays the same character. Which makes imagining him in different roles all the more fun
Glad you like my thread name suggestion

Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
Rory is very versitile indeed. I remember reading an article that some journo wrote and they mentioned about how alot of the time people who have seen Rorys films don't realise its Rory who is in the film, even if they know who he is because he is so different in every role he plays. I think that is an icredible compliment indeed, wheras people like Vince Vaughn, don't get me wrong I love Vince Vaughn but I've seen him play the same role a million times Same with Wil Ferrell. Its a shame tbh because they are getting alot more mainstream sucsess
About the Gay thing.....theres gay and then there is gay. I think he could play a gay role well but I think it would have to be a serious role for Rory I think. Something along the lines of Tom Hanks in Philidelphia, I think the novelty gay role like Will McCormack wouldn't be the ideal role for Rory IMO

Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
Very true indeed. That's why it's always a surprise to find out what role he's chosen next. I would have never pictured him as a Russian spy, but I'm excited to see how he does. The thing with him is, I'm just too impatient so I'd like to see him broaden his acting horizons a wee quicker. :lol:
That's probably a compliment every actor would like to have. Glad it was given to Rory, lol. And it's so true too, he does play every role so differently that you can really separate the actor from the character. Movies like 'Love and a .45' and 'A Scanner Darkly' are prime examples of that. The characters are two extremes of personality (ironically both deemed to have a similar fate) and are played so flawlessly.
I've seen that with so many actors. They play one role that was a hit and then their future roles are a shadow of the first one that made them famous. Then of course they can break out and do the odd independant film. I think that would be pretty difficult to get out of if you wanted to get into different genres. (It has happened, but not that often)
For me personally, I'd be interested in seeing both sides of the scale on this. But you're right, a role like Tom Hanks had in Philidelphia would probably be along the lines of something he'd chose. - Then again I don't know him personally so I can't say exactly that he'd go for that over the other, but it would be interesting for him to take it on.

Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
i agree!! i saw him on CSI: Miami first, but then i saw him in Dazed and Confused and i didn't realize it was him, unitll i closed my eyes and listened to his voice, then i was like "OMG! that's Rory!?!?" i couldn't believe it at first. he just looked and acted so different! that's what i really like about him ,he can change to fit his character very well. Rory is just an amazing actor. oh and here's something to ponder. what do you think the K stands for in his name? Rory K. Cochrane. does anyone know his middle name? because i really want to know.

Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
I would say his character in CSI Miami is probably closest to what Rory is really like as a person than anything else he's done. I reckon same goes for majority of main cast of Miami I'd say.
They based alot of the character profiles on the actors themselves apparently. I remember something from the Dispo Day commentary sayin Rory as a person is a very laid back and easy going and that is something that is evident in Speedle I think.
I know I slagged Vince off for being typed cast but I'd love to see Rory as a male lead in a Rom Com just so I can get jealous watching it :lol:

I guess I have to see some other Rory films because I've only seen him on Miami and I also want to see like his other sides of acting

Re: Speed/Rory #15: Perfection in Pants
yeah!! i know!! i have that one on DVD!! and i pause it everytime he's shirtless!!! just because...i can :devil: he's just so sexy!! i so wish they would bring Speed back on CSI: Miami. i even have a good plot.
"Unexpected"
The team has an unexpected visit from an old friend and is shocked when they find out who it is.
then Speed could show up and explain to the team that the feds made him fake his death for an undercover misson in LA. and now he's done his mission so he's back.
