Comments, banter, and an appreciation of acting against type can be found as we discuss: What is the appeal of Bruce Willis as an actor or as an action star Should Bruce Willis have tried out his comedic chops a bit more? Does Bruce Willis elevate those around him or is he actually dependent on a strong supporting cast? Why does no-one talk about The Last Boy Scout? Should Bruce have done more buddy cop films after Die Hard with a Vengeance? Is Bruce's performance in Unbreakable understated or just mailing it in? Ian shares a story about recognizing a key location in a Bruce Willis film We present the audience and BFE Top 10 lists for the best Bruce Willis Performances ever If you have any ideas about future actors/actresses or topics for future roundtables, we’d love to hear from you.
