Who's your favourite actor currently? without hesitation: Michael Fassbender. Not just for his impeccable good looks but also for his impeccable acting ability, whether it be playing the genius psychotherapist Carl Jung in A Dangerous Method or the compulsive sex addict Brandon Sullivan in Shame - Michael Fassbender can do it all.
Fish Tank (2009) is when I went "who the hell is that incredible actor, and why have I not seen him before??!" And so my obsession began. I have seen not-so-great movies with Michael Fassbender in them, but I have never seen Michael Fassbender be anything but great.
This is a man who is unafraid to do anything to give an honest performance. He always finds the humanity in every role and plays all of his characters with a reality. If we hate them, we don’t need to know why, we just need to see those eyes and we know who this person is. In a time when “understanding” becomes synonymous with “excusable”, where “villain” means “troubled”, Fassbender finds what actually lies inside of the heart then shows it to us, the outsiders.
You may have seen him in Shame, Hunger, Inglourious Basterds, A Dangerous Method, 300, Jane Eyre, Fish Tank, Prometheus, 12 Year A Slave, X-Men 1st Class. (See above images)
Can i just add that the bromanship between Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender is so bloody cute i can’t stand it (Michael stars in 3 of McQueen's films)
I mean
really
And lets not forget his love affair with McAvoy!
What are you opinions of Fassbender? Never heard of him? Shame on you! but seriously, if you haven't heard of this fine specimen then check out one of his films, you won't be sorry.
