kind of like Madonna and the gays (history mayne), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 20:32 (fourteen years ago)

missing Lady Liberty a "Sophia Loren in New York" flick from the early 70s that a brief turn from Danny, who was still (relatively) thin and had hair. A rarity to be sure.

Handjobs for a sport (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 20:35 (fourteen years ago)

Tin Men all the way, although I might've voted for Herbert Powell if it were an option.

generally have a high regard for him as a performer, but as a director he's responsible for some of the worst 'dark comedy' of all time.

some dude, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 20:39 (fourteen years ago)

Voting Johnny Dangerously for his hilarious death-by-malt-liquor-bull scene.

Captain Hyrax (Phil D.), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 20:59 (fourteen years ago)

does anyone use 'vance' as an insult?

kind of like Madonna and the gays (history mayne), Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:18 (fourteen years ago)

I love a lot of these roles, but Frank Reynolds is all-time bonkers and imo impossible to beat.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:21 (fourteen years ago)

hahaha best thread title

There's no beating Taxi.

Bill, Wednesday, 4 May 2011 22:31 (fourteen years ago)

This probably isn't even the best Louie moment, but it's always what comes to mind when I think of DeVito.

He had a very nice bit in Solitary Man, although it depended on the audience's awareness of all the DeVito-Michael Douglas movies over the years.

ginny thomas and tonic (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 5 May 2011 12:03 (fourteen years ago)

yeah devito pretty much props heist up all on his own

i really do think this guy is amazing and wish he was doing more than just a sitcom lately (voted Taxi lol)

cum dude (Princess TamTam), Thursday, 5 May 2011 12:09 (fourteen years ago)

btw i gotta shout out Twins, Twins is the shit

some dude, Thursday, 5 May 2011 13:53 (fourteen years ago)

DeVito is definitely one of the most watchable actors of his generation

Those ha-ha-ha's were me laughing. Nobody else laughed. After I finished there was a long, tense, embarrassed pause. Mr. Devito averted his eyes. He was obviously hurt. All he said was, "I'd rather not do any height jokes."

Taxi's going to win this, huh?

Rep for Throw Momma from the Train.

Sunny is such an awesome capper to his career, gives me so much joy to see him in it.

I can't decide between Taxi and It's Always Sunny...

Taxi.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 11 May 2011 00:23 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah I picked Taxi. It was the first non-cheesy/not always a happy ending sitcom I saw on Nick at Nite.

Trying to Find Every Nicole Wray Song Is A Bitch (lilsoulbrother), Wednesday, 11 May 2011 00:24 (fourteen years ago)

I liked him in Solitary Man, Hoffa, and Man on the Moon, and I think his Penguin was the scariest villain from the first Batman cycle. So I'll vote for Cuckoo's Nest, for no other reason that it's my favorite film on the list. (He is really funny it it, though.) A very likeable actor, the Penguin notwithstanding.

Hmm:

Danny DeVito Completes Production on Apocalyptic Thriller

"I was truly excited about getting behind the camera on this one. It is my first foray into the thriller genre and I've enjoyed the challenge of making an 89 minute edge-of-your-seater..."

The film revolves around a wounded cop, a wounded murderer and a sultry nurse. The three are thrust together, as war rages outside the only possible safe house, an abandoned City Hospital. With no doctors and only a few poor decrepit souls as witnesses, it becomes a rats' maze as the antagonistic trio get separated, and we find out the real reason they are there.

four months pass...

One of Hollywood's longest-lived, shortest-statured marriages is on the rocks: TMZ is reporting that Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are separating after 30 years of marriage. Thirty years! What's more, they'd been dating for eleven years before they actually wed, which means that in "Hollywood years," the two had been together for roughly a googol. Best of luck to them both.

I was wondering the other day if they were the only Hollywood couple that actually stuck together

If this doesn't disprove the myth of life-long monogamy, nothing will.

Ham Lushbaugh (Eric H.), Monday, 8 October 2012 16:45 (twelve years ago)

It's a good thing they were together before celebrity portmanteaus were a thing, otherwise they would have been "Dannyrhea."

Tom Hardy & the Batbreakers (Phil D.), Monday, 8 October 2012 16:47 (twelve years ago)

Thought about a poll, glad I checked...Just finished The Rainmaker. He's someone who just seems to love acting.
