Up front, the cinetrix should just admit that she'd be happy listening to Liev Schrieber reading tax code. It's that voice of his, which has been put to good use in several documentaries already, including the great BBC/WGBH coproduction about rock and roll several years back. It's sonorous and earthy.
Why bring this up? Well, the delightful Tuckova pointed me to this provocative little list: The All-Time Top 100 Voices in the Movies. And don't get me wrong, there are a lot of solid choices on it, but there is no Liev Schrieber. Chow Yun-Fat [in Cantonese, not English, mind] doesn't make the cut, either.
So do take a look for yourselves and let me know who else is missing. We'll write our own damn list. And when we do, we'll come up with something better to say for Ms. Lauren Bacall than "The predecessor of Kathleen Turner." Harrumph. Kids today don't know their history.
