| Nov 1, 2016 at 9:13 | comment | added | David Seek | @Paul I'm super interested in your premise and have given that thoughts for a while now. i would like to catch up on that. movies.stackexchange.com/questions/62620/… | |
| Nov 1, 2016 at 6:28 | comment | added | David Seek | by the way @Paul , thank you for your thoughts and stuff on the a-list thing. for me he still is an A, but it's still interesting tho what others think and also I may be incorrect, but i think, that it is completely opinion based and | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 21:26 | comment | added | Paul | As my comment was supposed to indicate, it's not about how much I like him or don't. But he is a niche actor, he's not got the breadth of roles I would expect an A lister to have. With the exception of Riddick, it's hard to credit him with all of the draw on the box. He doesn't have the kind of draw or range that someone like DiCaprio or Will Smith have, that's all I was trying to say. If you google "a list actor list" there's even a scroll bar of them, that doesn't include him. | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 14:55 | comment | added | David Seek | @TylerH I wasn't able to tell that it was Vin Diesel. That's why I said it. And also, just a dark distorted Voice saying "I am Groot" is not easy to tell who speaks it. For example a friend of mine spoke the german voice for the main actor in "the parfume". NEVER IN LIFE I would have been able to tell. Just in one scene, when he was yelling, I was able to hear it. Why? Because he changed his voice. Spoke deeper. And that's the point. In comics, sometimes whole casts are spoken by 1-2 people. BEcause changing voice and you can't tell anymore.... | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 14:09 | comment | added | TylerH | You clearly could tell that Vin Diesel voiced Groot, why would you assume you wouldn't be able to tell that your neighbor was voicing him? | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 3:04 | comment | added | user11607 | For the record, Vin Diesel also voices Groot in every language that the movie was released in - imdb.com/title/tt2015381/trivia?item=tr2213798 | |
| Oct 31, 2016 at 0:08 | comment | added | Criggie | From the opposite end - why would a top actor want to do something different? Variety? To avoid being typecast in a specific role? To do something fun that doesn't express the same requirements as physical acting? Acting that is more cerebral? Availability-voice acting takes a lot less time, and could fit in before his next scheduled role? Vin Diesel probably has enough money to indulge himself. | |

| Oct 30, 2016 at 22:55 | comment | added | Catija | Please refrain from commenting just "thank you" on answers. Thank them by upvoting. If you have something else to say it, great, do so but just saying thanks is clutter and will likely be deleted. | |
