@acroce66 Well, Crystal has twice the acting credits as Brooks and about the same number of great movies. Overall Brooks is the better actor/writer, plus he Funkhouser's brother.
@acroce66 I like both; voted for Brooks. Crystal excelled in When Harry Met Sally and as the Oscars host, but overall I prefer Brooks' films by far.
@acroce66 One is one of the most original and inventive comedians ever and the stole entire routines from other comedians. Guess which is which.
@acroce66 As an actor? Billy is very charming, but after seeing Brooks in Drive, my respect for him skyrocketed.
@acroce66 Had to go with Crystal. He makes me laugh. When Harry Met Sally will always be special to me because I saw it on the big screen with my best bud when it came out. I've just never ban a fan of Brooks. I did, however, appreciate his character in Broadcast News.
@acroce66 If I was a director, I’d be seeing how I could secure Albert Brooks for a role in every film. He’s rarely missed the mark. Loved his role in Out of Sight. He really needed his Bausch & Lombs.
@acroce66 Poor Albert Brooks, still not recognized as the comedic master that he is. I’d take Lost in America any day over anything from Crystal, including Running Scared and all of his bland comedy specials.
@acroce66 I don’t see how this is close, personally.
