Who is today's Cary Grant or close?

character actors

Steve Busceimi reminds me of Lorre.

yes, another actor who effectively goes from drama to comedy!
John Turturro does a lot of effective roles in both comedy & drama. And lots of period movies too

If anyone cares, , this post was in response to a photo of Malkovich which somebody posted above and which has apparently expired. At least that my story.......

The Malkovich style most certainly emanates from his early years at the Steppenwolf Theatre and its location adjacent to the massive Amvets thrift shop. Early on, Amvets functioned as the wardrobe (and property) department for the theatre and the troupe members (onstage and off).

Oh yes I'd completely forgot about the "Good German", a dead ringer for Carey Clooney lol thanks for the reminder

Off topic, but oh, that Amvet's. I lived in that neighborhood from about 1972 to 1980. That was the golden age of thrifting, and Amvet's was a treasure trove.
lol
I was in that store a couple times a week and brought home a big bag of incredible goodies every time. When I moved to Oregon in 1986, I moved many boxes, but had to divest myself of many more.
Back on topic, George Clooney, Rupert Holmes, Pierce Brosnan all have some of CG's qualities for me.

I always find Pierce sort of stuffy and self concious, where as Carey was always very relaxed and self confident( he knew he had it going on)

Carey never "pouted" there was absolutely no need

Hmm..

I'd pick Brosnan, Moore, Connery.

I like Sheens also senior and junior lol Both have done great roles and look fine outside the set.

No doubt in my mind. Must be Sir Connery.
