I love love love love love this guy!!!! He IS my favorite actor. I will see any & every movie he is in. I remember a long time ago he was on Hawaii 5 O!!!! I was over my grandmothers house & she yelled for me to come & see! "Carla, that guy you like so much is on my progam!" She loved that show, & boy that was a long time ago!!!! Ha ha ha I'm babbling again as I do... so, I just want to say thank You Igor, & for bringing up my guy! :D Carla :D

You've caught that feeling of threat that always seems to be part of his work (and maybe also his personality).
Carla Carson replied:
Odd, I love this guy! He is my most favorite actor in the world hands down! I fell in love with him/his work in the deer hunter. Then I saw every movie he has ever been in. Then when he is on Saturday Night Live, he is hilarious! Thank You Odd so much. People just don't get the celebrity thing around here. I don't do it for the money, I don't sell them, I do it because they move me in some way, inspire me. I do it for me, & as a tribute to them. Nothing more, nothing less....

Carla Carson replied:
Someone asked once & could not understand why one draws actors & musicians. For me I do it out of a profound admiration && respect for such a talent. The actors & musicians I draw have moved me in some way, either by their music, or beauty or a movie that had touch me in a way. I love this brilliant actor! He is my favorite male actor. I fell in love with him when I saw the Deer Hunter. & that movie had a tremendous effect on me. I thought to myself, if those men in that war or any war has gone through such ordeals, my lifes little problems are nothing & I can get through it. He can make you laugh too! SNL... More Cowbell please!!!! ha ha ha. Thank you for the compliment Blackbird :)
