"In a world of individuals, comparison makes no sense."  Nonetheless, does anyone else see similarities between Meat Loaf's style of acting and the style/s of others?  Consider Jack Nicholson, or Dustin Hoffman; even the venerable Paul Newman.  All (including Meat) command the utmost respect for their portrayals of their chosen roles.  Being Australian, I have to add another actor to the aforementioned greats.  Jack Thompson (Dad to Russell Crowe) is a passionate, charismatic actor of the same calibre.  Make no mistake however, I do not believe Meat in any way copies anyone.  Why would he need to?
