Another actor to look up to is none other than Orson Welles.
This man, this is the man to look up to when you want your acting fix.
While he did a few films within Hollywood, He's actually more well known for his stage productions of shows like Macbeth and The Cradle Will Rock.
And let's not forget his bone-chilling 1938 Broadcast of H.G Well's War of the Worlds. From what I've read, that radio broadcast was known for scaring the bejesus out of everybody in the USA for making them believe there was a Martian invasion.
Oh and there's his most famous film of all time: Citizen Kane. The story of a newspaper capitalist inspired by the life of William Randolph Hearst told by the perspective of other people in the film who knew of the man himself.
"I think it would be fun to run a newspaper" indeed.
I haven't seen Welles' other films but I personally feel he already did perfectly in Kane.
My generation mostly know him from his many commercial outtakes he's done in the 70s such as Frozen Peas and Paul Masson Champagne as well as the voice of Unicron from Transformers.
But for me, I mostly study Orson Welles for his auteur licenses to his own work, his stage performances, and other things.
And once in a blue moon, Maurice Lamarche's wonderful impressions of the man himself.
