I've only seen U571 and Cry Wolf and he died in both of them. Guess he should take the hint!

I'm with Becky and actually like Jon as an actor and look forward to seeing him in a movie. Becky do you remember when Siskel and Ebert (movie review critics for those that don't recognize the names) named Jon one of their breakout stars of 1998? I was reading through some old fanzines the other day and remember that. Roger Ebert said:

"And you know he has something else that a lot of musical performers didn't have on screen, although somebody like Frank Sinstra did. And that is, he can step out of giving you the impression that he expects you to look at him. Jon Bon Jovi is able to absorb himself into the character and the scene. It's kind of like a humility that brings a realism to it."

I remember that! Jon has the skill. He's had some really bad scripts though (Vampires, U-571). I'm disappointed because his best roles have been in smaller films that weren't hits. Row Your Boat, for instance--that's a great movie and Jon did a great job in it.

Yep, I agree about the bad scripts but I always thought he made the best of some of the crap (or should I say scripts that turned to crap, a la, Vampires) he got, lol! Row Your Boat is definitely a favorite of mine too.

I didn't expect a tour for the new album.I mean,if it really will a country album.I thought they'd do like for This left feels right,just for the fans,so no tour,no promo basically,no everything. I was wrong.
Anyway,Jon looks VERY busy in this period and that's a good thing,he's gotta be always in the light of the media.I like when he works hard.

I was so glad a while back when he said he would NOT do acting anymore

How foolish of me to actually to believe him....
