| I've never looked at the show quite that way, although what you propose is an interesting idea. I think Stine covets Stone's success with women, his fame, his notoriety, and other qualities -- he'd like to have those attributes but still be Stine and retain his own abilities. I think the relationship of Stine to Stone is more like that of Rick Lyon to Trekkie Monster. It takes a really great actor to play dual roles in a film convincingly. Ronald Colman (in The Prisoner of Zenda) and Bette Davis (in A Stolen Life) made it look easy. Audiences always knew which character they were seeing in both films in every scene. However, fine actors who tried it like Spencer Tracy, Olivia De Havilland, Paul Henreid, and others were a lot less convincing in creating two characters that looked the same but had totally different personalities, yet did not confuse audiences as to which character they were seeing in every scene -- I know I got confused occasionally during the films. I'm not sure Jackman has the ability to pull off such a demanding feat. |
