Best part of Maleficent, Best part of A-Team, Best part of Elysium


Seriously, this guy just steals the show in everything.

And you do? What makes you the expert? Even our view of acting talent can be subjective. I think he was the saving grace of Elysium and yes, was the best part of The A-Team.

In any discussion under many actors´ profiles, there are comments like "He can´t act" with "He is one of the best actors of our generation!" next to each other. Just check Christian Bale or Leonardo DiCaprio profiles....

I think Sharlto is very good but he needs more interesting roles in indie projects instead of blockbusters where he has no real chance to work with the character. Even Open Grave, as average the movie was, proved he could be good with a properly written role

I thought he was great as Murdock in the A Team and Elysium,I know some people thought he was awful in Maleficent and Oldboy(Have not seen that one yet),but I always enjoy watching him onscreen,Chappie looks interesting. I agree Sharlto should probably do more indie projects

I appreciate your post. Cause sharlto is an amazing actor! But come on... Maleficant he was such a miscast. Totally the wrong actor for the job. I will fight to the death to defend any of his characters but that one. It was a good job to be offered in general though. Could see why he would say yes. Hes still a name most people dont know very well.

Although it's Angelina Jolie's movie, I must say that he does catch the eye in 'Maleficent.' I hope that he has done more villain types that I can look forward to.

Even on his worst day, Sharlto is far-and-away the best. The title of this post is so true. He's a unique and remarkable talent and he does need more interesting vehicles. His Murdock was hysterically funny in the "A" Team, and his maniac in Elysium was truly scary. He brought life and compassion to Chappie and his Wikus van der Merwe in District 9 was truly inept, yet sympathetically played. Already mentioned by someone on here, he would make a knockout Joker.

There is real life ... and then there are movies!
