In honor of Father's Day, this weeks questions are all about Daddy Dearest. From Robin Williams portrayal as a father willing to do anything to see his children in Mrs. Doubtfire , to the sins of Chris Cooper in American Beauty, all movie dads have made us feel one way or another. So no matter if your dad is a saint or something... else, today is their day.
1. What actor has best portrayed the role of loving father? Name the actor and the film. I think that I'll give a really weird answer here. Believe it or not, I think that Richard Roxburgh played the role of a very loving father in Van Helsing! Allow me to explain... His character, Count Vladislas Dragulia (Dracula), was doing everything so that his children might have life. For a guy who said "I have no heart. I have no soul. I feel no joy. I feel no sorrow. I am hollow, and I will live forever..." he certainly did care for his children , enough that he was killed during his quest to bring them life.
Hanging around, discussing his plans for the children with his brides.
2. What actor has best portrayed the role of world's worst father? Name the actor and the film. Offhand, I can't think of a single movie in which I saw someone play a really bad father.Maybe it's just the kind of movies I go to see...
3. If there was a movie to be made about your life, what actor would portray your father? It would have to be Andy Griffith. They look a lot like each other and (Tee Hee!) they're both named Andy!
Happy Father's day to all of you fathers out there.
