Tbh I don't really rate many as I don't think its that difficult. I appreciate footballers and singers because they do things that I can't do, but is acting really that difficult? I don't know much of Falk's work although according to Wiki he has an extensive Filmography, but on tv interviews I've seen of him, he tlaks and uses the same facial expressions that he uses in Columbo, so is he really acting at all or just reciting words with a few actions thrown in? I hear that people think Sean Bean is a great actor and yet his voice in Sharpe is the same as in When Saturday Comes and various other roles. People have to appear believable and be adaptable to not be typecast. If I was looking for someone that I respected and there aren't many that I think I would choose someone like Anthony Hopkins or Ben Kingsley.
