    I love this guy! He's so cool. hide show

    I really enjoyed his performance on the movie October Sky which is based on a true story. he plays Homer Hickam, who becomes a rocket scientist who helped with the 1969 moon landing. I haven't seen many of his movies but I liked his acts on Saturday Night Live. He is good looking and a good actor. He was also in The Day After Tomorrow. He and Maggie escaped from a fire in a Californian hotel where they were staying at. Thank the Lord he and his family didn't die because he and Maggie are awesome actors. I hope to see him more and more in the furture!

    Major hottie... hide show

    Jake Gyllenhaal is a great actor, but I first started liking him only becuase he's hot. The first movie I saw him in was The Bubble Boy. I didn't care for that movie. It was pointless and stupid, but Jake was in it, so I have to give it some credit. Another movie I saw him in was October Sky. I had to watch that movie in school a few months ago, and I really liked it. Jake was perfect as Homer. He was also really hot. The movie that best shows his hotness is Day After Tomorrow. That movie was amazing! Jake played Sam Hall, the son on a climatologist who realized the world was in serious trouble from tornadoes, hurricanes, and a new ice age. Sam's dad was the hero, but so was Jake. He looks even hotter as a hero.

    Fantastic actor! One of the best around today hide show

    From Donnie Darko to Brokeback Mountain - the diversity of this guy is endless! Wowed me in Brokeback, even though i'm straight, I could feel the story and the history between the two. Such strong acting! Recently saw Zodiac, and he was just as brilliant in that. He has a vulnerability about him, but also comes off strong and confident! One of the best actors around today, and I hope he gets awarded properly for his success!

    Jack to Jimmy hide show

    I remember first watching Jake as Jimmy, in the mocking role of Bubble Boy. Hilarity, that's the only word I can think that describes his performance and the movie over all. Watchin him after that was like watchin a true actor emerge. He went into stellar roles and amazing work, returning to his Donnie Darko days of very unique roles. As Jack Twist in the beloved yet controversial Brokeback Mountain he made me love him all the more. A great performance, in a great movie. The boy isn't afraid to be daring but has such a sullence demeanor that you sometimes forget just how much of screen prescence he can be.

    His talent is indescribable! hide show

    Jake Gyllenhaal is, for lack of a better word, friggin amazing. Seriously. He's one of the most talented actors in Hollywood now and I can't wait to see more of his work. Anyone who doubts his talent should see Brokeback Mountain or Donnie Darko. Those are two very different roles that I couldn't imagine anyone else playing. But if you've seen those and still aren't sold, see Moonlight Mile. That movie is not as well known as the two I already mentioned, but the cast (Jake, Dustin Hoffman, Susan Sarandon) is fantastic and Jake gives an unbelievable performance. Jake has given nothing but superb performances since he started out, and I for one look forward to a long career from him. And it doesn't hurt that he's certifiably gorgeous, either!
