Eric Roberts - Great in several movies like STAR 80, RUNAWAY TRAIN and THE POPE OF GREENWICH VILLAGE. But later made a lot of junk.



Why do I always get Eric Roberts, Micheal Nouri, and Chris Sarandon all mixed up?
And I thought all 3 of those guys did a good job-Nouri in the HIDDEN (1987) and Sarandan in FRIGHT NIGHT (1985)
Supernatural?...perhaps. Baloney?...Perhaps not!" Bela Lugosi-the BLACK CAT (1934)

Paul Walker starred in one really good movie - 2006's RUNNING SCARED, w/ Vera Farmiga, who's awesome in that one. I always figured he was perfectly happy being in F/F movies and making lots of money from those and didn't care about doing much else.

But since I mentioned her - Vera Farmiga was so good in RUNNING SCARED and in THE DEPARTED, I'd really hoped she would become an A-list serious movie star/actress, like a Cate Blanchett. Like Paul Walker, I guess she was satisfied w/ all her Lorraine Warren money and didn't feel motivated to shoot higher.

Paul also starred in a South African film called VEHICLE 19 which is pretty good with a bit of a crappy ending.
