FredCDobbs Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 This young man and great actor should have received at least 2 or 3 Academy Award nominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrroberts Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Probably should have been cast in many films instead of that hack, Bogart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikisoo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Well I love Sabu and keep 3 of my favorites of his in a box set: THEIF OF BAGDAD '40, ARABIAN NIGHTS '42, & BLACK NARCISSUS '47. While he started out as a "natural" actor, you can see his progression becoming a really skilled actor. Plus, he went from really cute teen to gorgeous man with those acting skills. I'm always saddened he wasn't given more interesting & varied roles into his adulthood. He strikes me similarly as exotic Yul Brenner, and if given the same type of roles I think he'd be just as powerful a performer. Love, love, love Sabu.
