Mt. Rushmore of Themselves in Film

from Mt. Rushmore Podcast

Sure, Daniel-Day Lewis might be the greatest actor of his generation. Yes, he can immerse himself into a role so completely that it's easy to forget the actor who is playing the character. But has he ever played himself beating up Adam Sandler on a golf course in a fit of range? No? Score one for Bob Barker, Master Thespian. This week we're looking at one of the most difficult roles an actor can play: themselves. These are ridiculous and over-the-top portrayals that require the actor to have a pretty healthy sense of humor. SHOW NOTES Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in "Airplane!"
