Silver Fox

I know he's a shitty, sappy, same-role-in-every-movie actor, but dammit Richard Gere is FOINE. I watched "Unfaithful" last weekend (if you haven't seen it, it's not particularly good, but has some great sex scenes), "Sommersby" today, and right now "Pretty Woman" is on. All bad movies. Not "Christmas with the Kranks" bad, mind you, but not exactly good. And he basically plays the same character in each movie, give or take the time period. In "Unfaithful", he's a wealthy, New York suburbanite who finds his wife cheating with HOT HOT HOT Olivier Martinez. Poor, sad him. In "Sommersby", he's a Civil War soldier who returns home to his wealthy family's plantation, but ends up dying in the end for pretending to be someone he's not. Poooor, sad, heroic sack. And we all know in "Pretty Woman", he's the super rich business guy who buys Julia Robert's prostitutional affection with fine gifts. Again, sad. Yet, I'd take it.
So, like I said, I'm not putting him the ranks with Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Adrien Brody, but he's hot. Really hot.
