does anyone remember flash forward?
ben foster seems to be a hot up and coming actor who embraces gritty roles...he's even in alpha dog. but i can't take him seriously! because he's Tucker! the boy-next-door to Becca in the world of the 1990's disney series Flash Forward. we sat down to watch 3:10 to Yuma last night and there he was - Tucker. on screen with the other 90's teeny-bopper heart-throb turned 200X dark actor, christian bale. but they're not even teeny-bopper in the same sense as jonathon taylor thomas. i did "stage" (aka musical theater) when i was younger, and one of our dance songs was from the movie newsies, starring christian bale.
i had the role of doogie howser's best friend, the movie narrator and supporting actor to bale. bale flaunted his dancing in swing kids and pulled off broadway style song and dance numbers in newsies. i was a little more than surprised to see him in Batman, nearly ten years after his last notable movie, and i was secretly waiting for him to break into a highly choreographed dance routine with katie holmes the whole way through, but i finally got over my preconceptions of the once-teen-actor when he won me over with the Prestige. the Prestige was fantastic. however, with ben foster's inconcievably short role in Xmen, and his crazy, bristly bearded character in yuma...i'm not quite sold on him as a grown up. because i loved him as tucker! he had that winnie cooper-kevin arnold relationship where they're at that age where the girl is taller than the boy, but becca doesn't remotely have that ice queen persona that winnie exudes. with loveable tucker on the brain, i somehow can't "flash forward" to his roles today....maybe it'll take a few more movies.
