My interest on Civil War / Abraham Lincoln started because of my love for westerns... most of those films are set during the US expansion to the West and some during the civil war itself.
Oh God, not Westerns
I can't stand them! hahaha My dad grew up on Westerns though, practically the only thing on TV in the 50s and 60s and a little bit in the 70s here in the States. So, he'll always watch the reruns of them, but I just can't bear it
Yeah it was just a rhetoric question to be honest, I don't think it's possible to pick just one actor above everyone else. He's the first person to win 3 Academy Awards for Best Actor though, and is certainly among the best.
I don't know, hard to say winning an Academy Award means that much. It doesn't to me, personally, but obviously means a lot if you're an actor! To me, there's too much of an American bias and they're all determined by what the art-types and film critics like. Not that viewers necessarily should be determining these things, I just find it all very pat each other on the back.
