Jeff Bridges is probably my favorite actor, in terms of screen presence he's up there with the likes of Kirk Douglas, Chris Pratt, and... Mathew McConaughey, ironically enough! remember I'm talking screen presence, as in when they're on the screen you're paying attention to them. In terms of acting ability, True Grit really proved to me that the guy is a chameleon. To go from the dude to the best version of Rooster Cogburn was impressive.
Big lebowski is a good movie and Jeff was great in it. For Jeff Bridges Fans - Watch the move Fearless(1993). IMO, Fearless is his best performance. Truly remarkable performance.
