Oh Elle, I'm sorry. It's okay to like him. I never cared for his acting, and well, after meeting him...um. Okay, how do I put a positive spin on this? There are actors whose work I never cared for, and I changed my mind after meeting them.
Maybe the next time I meet Mr. Glover he will join their ranks. You know, if the old saying "first impressions are most often correct", is a lie.

I'm not much of a fan of Danny Glover's acting, myself. I've never seen him do anything where I could not see him acting. Everything he does just seems to be an extension of him, only more polished.
Whereas the following actors created something that exists outside of themselves for me:
Sidney Poitier in "In the Heat of the Night"
Ralph Fiennes in "Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights'" and "Schindler's List"
Morgan Freeman in "Driving Miss Daisy"
Jodie Foster in "The Accused" and "The Silence of the Lambs"
Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting"
Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare in Love" and "Proof"
Ashley Judd in "Ruby in Paradise"
Bobby Canavale in "The Station Agent"
Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain"
Jake Gyllenhaal in "Donnie Darko" and "Brokeback Mountain"
Helen Mirren in "The Queen"
Forest Whitaker in "The Crying Game" and "The Last King of Scotland"
And then there's Judi Dench, who's managed to create something outside of herself in *everything* she's ever done. But Danny Glover? No. Not so much.
Ellemeno:
Okay, I'll switch it to I like the movie Grand Canyon and his character in it, which was what I was thinking of when I said I like Danny Glover.

Sorry, Elle. I get a tad carried away at times. ::) :P
I like that movie, too. :)
