Lucas Black
is a phenomenal actor. Along with the typical good acting skills, like
being able to express emotions through his actions and southern accent
speech, he has an unusually expressive face that can go from the typical
boy, happy and grinning, to very solemn or angry, making him appear much
older than his years.
Lucas has
received no formal acting lessons - he's a natural talent! And yet,
in his first major tv series - American Gothic - there's absolutely no actor who could have brought
as much range to the character of Caleb Temple as
he did. He was so convincing to the fact that some people would say
that the only way he can act like that is for him "to really have the
personality and characteristics of that character in real life!"
The
Realm of the Citadel has received queries that if what was said of Lucas
were true, does that mean that he also possesses Caleb's psychic abilities
in real life?
There
is also a comment that The Realm can not deny that there really seem to
be
something
eerily mysterious about him. This seems to be a rhetoric question
and
The
Realm will leave this matter as such.
People who
really know Lucas will readily say that he really is a tough guy.
But more quickly they would also say that he's also one of the nicest guys
around. Now this holds true even to those who don't really know Lucas
but have met him in person as confirmed by one of The Realm's e-mail senders
whose name was asked to be withheld should we publish his letter:
"When I
saw Lucas at the Alabama airport, I decided to approach him and ask him
to sign an autograph for my daughter, knowing that he is her favorite actor.
I was quite surprised since I didn't expect him to be so genuinely polite.
He called me 'Sir' and even seemed to be shy someone asked him for an autograph.
In no way was he a young man with rough edges as his roles project
him to be."
For well-respected
critics like Devin O'Leary, Lucas Black is a revelation, one of the
most natural and talented actors ever. Extraordinary as he may be,
Lucas is also a typical boy who loves sports so much, particularly basketball
and american football. In fact he didn't attend the premiere of "Crazy
In Alabama" just because he wanted to play football!
Bass fishing
is Lucas' first love and after showing such talent in tv and movies many
people were shocked when he declared that in the future, he wants
to study fish biology and become a 'Bassmaster!'
