Alan Cumming
This is a thread to discuss the works of actor Alan Cumming
The purpose being to foster intelligent discussion of films without resorting to "It's a piece of crap." or "It's the greatest film ever." (And so that we all can gain a bit of a film education from everyone.) ****SPOILER WARNING**** of course this entire thread is going to be full of spoilers

"The works of Alan Cumming" ????
When the guy has been in some better fare than Spy Kids and X-Men..we can talk.  And not to be nasty..but why do people CREATE a thread about something, only to NOT be the FIRST ones to LOGICALLY BEGIN discussing the very topic THEY CREATED????  |

IronMonkey -- I suggest you start your own discussion, if you don't like what's available to you.

I haven't seen an Alan Cumming performance that I haven't liked yet. In Josie and the Pussycats, I thought he did a dispicable job of being a manipulative talent manager. Dispicable in that I loved hating his character.
I liked in GoldenEye how he was a "bad-guy" but he still gave the character a quirky computer-geek charm that made you like him, even though you knew Bond would eventually have to do something about him. X2 is my favorite performance of his. The only two other times I'd seen him he's been very outspoken and always flashing a big toothy grin. Who knew he also play a quiet and reclusive character to perfection? Certainly not I! But he amazed me in X2. O/T: Its my first Film Class post, so I tried as best I could to avoid the "he was good in this" and "he was great in this" lines.  |

He has an interesting, somewhat eclectic resume.
First off, I will always remember him from "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion". He was really charming in that. He is fascinating for doing such child-geared films lately. But he also did Emma. I think he gets typcast as a dramatic actor, but he was hysterial in an episode of Third Rock from the Sun. Not much more to share, I'm trying to follow the rules... |

Clemato is right about Alan Cumming's resume which includes a well received Hamlet. For a typical interview (it's 5 years old though) go to:
