btw, Jlo is a muppet. She's famous for being famous almost. If Jlo is considered an a-list celeb it's only because she's this years fashion. It's not for her singing or acting although it has to be said she is mediocre at both.
If there is an explanation for her fame it's as a role model. Women want to be her so they buy the records and see the movies in a vain hope of living the Jlo life by way of buying the same glasses, boots, clothes etc etc.
It's a tragedy that she is worshipped so much when there are so many other more talented actress's and actors out there who will never be discovered.
However, who is Gigli??

Dude,
You really dont see how you conradict yourself, Do You? Oh wellBottom line is that there are many reasons it takes time for an actor to get the project that makes them BLOW UP..MOST actors do ALOT of Crappy projects for years and then people call them Overnight SuccessesOne Example, James Woods says he Struggled for 25 years before becoming an "Overnight Success" Just watch he Biography Channel SometimeIn Bobbies case, She doesnt play into te Hollywood BSShe lives in Costa Rica and Owns a Hotel there because she says shes tired of the games one has o play to get ahead in HllywoodYes, even Halle Berry is tangled in the Hollywood MessTo get to the Next Level she had to start getting Naked and will be yesterdays News when she gets fed up and says, "No More"Anyway, yeas16d0, this is an Open Forum but I still dont understand why someone who doesnt think Bobbie is that great would waste their time with all the messagesI DO happen to think she has the acting chops and Im not the Only OneShe HAS done alot of work and alot of TERRIFIC WORK.."Murder One" for Example was a Great Show with a Great Cast and Bobbie Was a HUGE Part of that! I will be interested to see "Last Flight OuT" as well because she keeps growing as an actress and gets Better and Better! Thats my Open Forum Opinion! -

Acusa,
Listen, with all respect, don't try and burn me out by saying the only reason I should be hear is to pay absolute respect & homage to Bobbie and proclaim how much I admire her acting skills. I'm just offering my opinion. It seems your philosphy is offer whatever opinion you like as long as it's the right one or one that fits nicely with everyone else's. I disagree. The reason I am posting so many mails is to offer what I believe is something that will offer a balanced opinion when juxtaposed or compared with 99% of all other opinions here. Sad to say i'm in the minority, but truth is not a pretty thing sometimes.
BTW, how I contradict myself.? what by referring to halle Berry or you referring to james Woods. I reject the comparison between Bobbie and James woods. One could watch james woods open a chewing-gum wrapper and be enthralled. Not only is his acting ability well above par but he has genuine magnetic acting/star quality.
I'm not trying to say she's not a good actress, she is, and believe it or not, if someone said she was a terrible actress I would defend Bobbie to the hilt. She's Just not star quality, and it makes me ill to hear people falling over themselves saying 'she the greatest actress this century or whatever - get out more!
Lastly, yes I know she was in murder one, and it was a reasonalby good series but I always thought that Bobbie's character was slightly wooden or workmanlike in approach. As I've said before, she seems just a little too concious of herself to get into the soul of the character she is portraying.
Also, you said a lot of actors have to do a lot of crappy work before they 'Blow-up', you mean get recognised and become household names etc?. My argument would be this - everyone here praises Bobbie's work. As far as you (plural) are all concerened Bobbie can do nothing wrong and all the work she has done has been her best. If this is true, then Bobbie has done (past tense) her best and can do no better, therefor nowhere else to go than down or just float around doing more tv extra work and the odd 'straight to vid' jobs.
This is where she differs from James woods. You can see his improvement scale. Bobbie is doing the same stuff she was doing 10/15 years ago.
Anyway. Look, thats all I'll say. Probably said enough. I mean no disrespect to Bobbie or other fans of bobbie. I do believe an honest critique of an actor is the most important thing you can offer them or else they start to believe their own hype as do some of the fans. If we don't constructively criticise, then the extras from Star Trek, the next generation will be up for oscars.

FYI, Bobbie Phillips turned 32 years old on Jan. 29th of this year. Has it ever occurred to some of you that maybe she's over the nudity thing? Maybe she had a conversation about her current "no nudity" contract clause with Amanda Tapping, who she co-starred with in an episode of Stargate SG-1. Amanda has the same clause in her contract and is a similar caliber actress. People love her for her
talent as well as her beauty. It was smart of Bobbie to do her nudity while she was young and nubile(haven't seen anything except "Showgirls" as far as her
disrobed parts, so I'll have to take your collective word for her body). She's
had a kid and maybe that's why she's become more conservative about baring it all.
Caught her in an episode of Dharma & Greg tonight and I couldn't take my eyes
off of her! Have to rent the martial arts stuff to check that part of her talent
out. Do b68remember her in "Murder One" and she was a bit uptight. She is probably
more cursed than blessed by her unbelievable beauty. She has a certain something
that casting directors obviously like, but I'm not sure that there are any roles
out there at present that would suit her. The movie industry is still f***ed
as far as roles for women; either you have to be 17 or 50+ to have stuff come your way.
Bobbie kicks butt, plain and simple. Hope she's happy in Costa Rica and continues to enjoy working as an actress. Hey, she's young. She could still become a lawyer like she wanted to in college, before she was bitten by the acting bug. However, I think she'd be a little too distracting to the jury!!

Amanda Topping huh? Calibre actress with rolls in Stargate SG1 and she goes off and warns off Bobbie about taking it off. For gods sake!
Has anyone e2000ver heard of the beauty of 'Older Women'. Bobbie she be making the best of every single asset she has and if this includes her body (no shame in that) then so be it.

I don't know a great deal about this lady but since been captivated by her looks and acting ability ever since I saw her Murder One, I was at a loss as to how Bobbi did not become a bigger star. Living in the UK, it is difficult (while not impossible,) to follow the careers of certain actors who work mainly in US television (I am also thinkin go Yancy Butler here). I was only reminded of Bobbi while watching an episode of TV version of The Magnificent Seven.
I know some contributors here have commented on her no-nudity clause and her knowledge that she isn't going to go any further up the ladder are possible reasons why she hasn't become a bigger star. Please correct me if I am wrong on this as I just glanced over many of the postings here.
Whether the above is true or not, by watching her again, I was reminded of just how good this lady is. The reason she is not an A-list star is that no producer/director has taken the a chance and cast in a project where her true talent can shine. Having said that, both your film and television industries are far bigger than anywhere else so making the move from TV to the big screen can be difficult yet not impossible. Still Bobbi has displayed a wide acting range if you consider her roles in Murder One and Chameleon.
Lets hope Hollywood rediscovers and makes her an offer she cannot refuse which hopefully will place among the Hollywood A-List. -

I think Bobbie would have been a great Bond girl (I suppose she still can be). When I look at how Denise Richards practically ruined The World Is Not EnoughI think Bobbie would have made a far more legitimate smokin' hot scientist.

Guys, I'm getting conflicting messages here. One person says she's the best actress ever and deserves to work alongside Tom Cruise, another person says she should star in '24' which would be mediocre to ok, but this is the best! Bobbie Phillips as a Bond Girl? Bond totty???
Really, I'm not being sarcastic, but isn't that a little insulting given that so many people think she's the next female Laurence Oliver?

Andertusa, sorry you don't like my opinion but it's here to stay. The truth is ugly, like your mother in the morning. That said, Bobbie is a lovely woman but all the fan-love adoration in the world cannot help her if she hasn't made it already. Sad to say younger actresses, half Bobbies age, are coming up all the time. If Bobbie didn't make it by now (and she's had 15 years at trying) then she may not make it at all.
Question. If she's so into 'acting', where's her movies? 'Last Flight Out'??? Yeah, you got that right.
BTW, yes she's done a lot of work (TV, comedies, drama, episodes guest starri2000ng etc). This tells me she's a 'jack of all trades'. It also tells me she's majored in nothing concrete.
Omce again - so everyone understands, I don't dislike Bobbie, I admire her, but I am against her worshipping her when the facts (the movies) don't back up the evidence.
In plainer language, I don't buy into this thing about Bobbie being a great actress, she's mediocre at best. The one good thing she had going for her she closed off, i.e., her body. I'm that honest, but not pretentious.
Keth.

yeah, thought that might get you goat anderhousen.
I'm sure your mother looks fine in the monrning. Actually I like the older woman. That said, I forgive you for suggesting myself and keth go off and fornicate with iron sticks - I don't even get that, but ok.
It is funny you mention the word fornicate, as if you view Bobbie as hollier than though and whiter than white - she's made enough erotic thrillers and the like and bared enough flesh herself in her time which incidentally is ok with me. I'm not saying Bobbie fornicates - god no, but some of the stuff was near-softcore, if stylishly made (Luscious Lola, Hustle etc).
Any old fashioned 'Bobbie-the Body' fans out there. or are we all on the highway to heaven?
