 THE LEADING MAN
Here is the actor as New Man. He is forthright but not bullying, handsome but barely aware of it, and ever sensitive to the ideological content of the work that has propelled him, particularly in the past three years, into the relatively quiet but comfortable suburbs of stardom.
Yet for a complex man who despises the easy cliche, this standard political line is rather surprising.
Although you never suspect that his politics are anything less than sincere, he brings to his invective an emotion that seems out of place, an intensity that might work better in a play than in a close conversation.

 LEADING MAN - New York Post
September 7, 2007 -- Eli Manning’s motivational skills were called into question by former teammate Tiki Barber - but if the fourth-year quarterback can’t lead his team into the end zone, then his ability to lead a pregame pep talk will be the least of the Giants’ problems.
Manning has struggled with consistency, and while the Giants have made the playoffs the last two seasons they have not made it past the wild-card round.
While Manning may be the Giants’ biggest question mark heading into the season, he is far from the only one.

 The Leading Man | The A.V. Club
Lambert Wilson stars in The Leading Man as a highly respected English playwright whose life is falling apart: His beautiful, volatile Italian wife (Anna Galiena) is tiring of his infidelity, and his mistress (Thandie Newton) is pressing him to leave his wife so they can live together openly.
Into Wilson's joyless existence comes hope in the form of Jon Bon Jovi, an American movie star who comes to England to star in Wilson's new play—and in the process makes him an offer he can't refuse: He volunteers to seduce his wife in return for an undisclosed favor to be named later.
Chief among The Leading Man's strengths is its refusal to clarify the intentions of Bon Jovi's character: The audience never knows whether Bon Jovi is falling in love with Galiena or if it's all just an act designed to drive Wilson to despair.

"The Leading Man" is so obscure in origin that, even though it is obviously set in London, much of it may have been shot in Australia.
While he'll be the first to tell you how wonderful he is, Bon Jovi plays him not as a man who runs around bragging about himself, but as one who is unafraid to speak the truth.
For once, the older beautiful woman gets the younger delicious man. The supporting cast of David Warner, Patricia Hodge, and Diana Quick are wonderful, snide, and gossipy observers to the kiss and bed rehersals, the theater parties, and off-stage performances.

Clooney was cool and sharp in his acceptance speech, but what he said was less important than what he was doing—he was surfing, riding the crest of outrage that was pouring out of Hollywood.

 Cigar Aficionado | Archives | Michael Douglas: Leading Man
He's a leading man who doesn't always want to do what the traditional leading man is supposed to do.
Amid the coral-painted cottage colony that he has recently invested in (owned by members of his mother's family), on the idyllic beaches where he happily played as a boy, and near the golf courses that he cannot get nearly enough of as a man, Douglas is literally and figuratively at home.
He's a very cool man. A full and complete man. He's at peace with himself and that peace is admirable to watch evolve.

 Your Truly Average Leading Man (washingtonpost.com)
Giamatti, a character actor who has made his career out of playing guys named Pig Vomit and Veal Chop, now appears as the leading man in director Alexander Payne's "Sideways," a dark-chocolate comedy that film critics have begun to shortlist for the Oscars.
What Giamatti liked about "Sideways," he says, is that "they didn't make me into a gag." Giamatti plays a nebbishy wine snob with more taste than cash, a middle-aged sad sack rebounding from a divorce who goes on one last fling with an old college buddy.
Payne points to the film leads of the 1970s, when Bruce Dern, Dustin Hoffman and Donald Sutherland were cast.

Patriots will be heartwarmed that an Aussie (though born in Nigeria) is our biggest drawcard (leading five other Australian-born or trained actors in the top 40).
But purists may argue that Weaving's appearances in The Two Towers and Return of the King were not big enough to help the appeal of those films.
