My word I always found him compelling, bundles of charisma and if the role allowed him to take it further afield he could be wonderful eg Flesh and Blood, Incubus (he rewrote the script) Marvi2000n and Tige, Love Streams..if anything i found his 'on the edge immature loose cannon' Dirty Dozen type acting the least interesting

John is a fascinating guy. I love his directing and his acting is really cool. What makes him so interesting is that he directed these passionate movies full of heart, but could then - in a flash - do a 180 and play in popcorn entertainment that was polar opposite to his style and conviction. He also vehemently took a stand against popcorn entertainment, cursing it out in every interview then he walked off and did those "silly" movies anyway (for cash I know).
I love his turn in "Who's Life is it Anyway" where he plays a passionate doctor. You can see John the person coming through in that performance.
I wonder what he thought of the great movies he starred/co-starred in that he didn't direct, like Rosemary's Baby and Dirty Dozen. I think I read somewhere that he called Rosemary's Baby "not art". -

Well, he was a fantastic directortruly unique. But he was also an amazingly talented actor. Some of the movies he jusda0t acted in are not altogether unforgettable, while almost each movie he directed is. Still, his turns in Love Streams, Opening Night, Husbands or Minnie and Moskowitz are just incredible.

I think he was a better director. I've seen 2 of his films, and he is extremely wooden.
He was terribly miscast in "Rosemary's Baby", for example. Save for a couple good dialogue-less scenes where his expression spoke for him, he had the acting range of a dial tone.
I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
