Oh Jetée. Now I feel mean...! It's not often I'm obliged to separate the actor from the person like this. I think I'd rather have him as a friend than someone who was a better actor but probably a worse person - say Tom Cruise. But because it's sort of a one-way thing and I can't be friends with either I'd (generally) prefer to watch Cruise acting, because he can, properly. I know that Keanu Reeves has done ok performances - I like Bill & Ted and he's ok I suppose in Something's Gotta Give. It's great that he's really altruistic and a good guy but when I think of him as an actor my mind always always ALWAYS thinks back to that horrible Dracula performance because perversely that's the one I've seen the most.
