Keanu Reeves As A Role Model
A Wonderful Man
According to Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change you want to see in the world.” Keanu Reeves is one of the best well-known actors, producers, and musicians in the U.S. Reeves has been playing the role of hero, for he shares his wealth, time, and love with the world. Moreover, Keeves demonstrates he is a great man for making positive changes in other people’s life. For me, Reeves is an incomparable person whom I admire for he is a generous person and a role model: and, he is a sturdy person.
When I first saw Reeves in some movies, I regarded him as an ordinary or typical actor. However, while I was watching a video in YouTube about great and unique artists, his story had been revealed to me since then I never think of him as a typical

I applaud any wealthy person who lives a simple lifestyle to set an example to others. In this category, Reeves clearly play the role, for he takes bus and train as a way of transportation, and he gives his seat to elderly people. Likewise, I congratulate him for being a unique role model. As a wealthy man, he does not spend millions on materials. Again I admire his values. He does not live according to others’ expectation of him. Reeves stated that, “Money is the last thing he thinks about.” As a role model, Keanu Reeves inspires many people like me to make a positive change in the …show more content…
He begins with overcome objections, such as drug and depression. Although he did not have a father in his life while growing up, he turn out to be a father and provider for children who are in needs and fatherless. Reeves demonstrates he is strong minded by moving forward throughout challenges and barriers he had overcoming. For example, he chose to make a different path in life after witnessing his best friend die of an overdose. He also overcame depression even though death follow him like paparazzi in Hollywood. Since Reeves sister was killed by leukemia; therefore he has been funded millions of dollars to charities and hospital to help those who are diagnose with the disease. Regardless of Reeves loss of his first born child and lover in a car accident, he chose to love again and helps making other children’s life better. In brief, I admire Reeves role as a provider and giver to those in needs despite his own life tragedies.
On the whole, I have many reasons for acknowledge Reeves as one of my most admire artists. When I describe Reeves as generous, model, and sturdy, I feel good because those words also resemble me. He has motivated me, and others alike, to make positive change. Reeves moves me by playing the role I dream of becoming. Keanu Reeves shows that anyone can be someone else’s miracle in ways he or

    When watching Hallmark network films, it is quite common to see certain actors featured regularly, and sometimes we don't even think about learning their names or looking up their other works, especially if they are in supporting roles. However, I have discovered that if I delve a little bit deeper, I often find that I come across incredible talent, and I understand why Hallmark chooses to highlight these gifted actors again and again. Matt Hamilton is one such actor. No matter what role he tackles, his presence on screen cannot be ignored, and he is one of those memorable personages. Recently, I had the opportunity to chat with Matt about his nontraditional journey into acting as well as his upcoming works, including Death Al Dente: A Gourmet…

    Upon hearing that this topic was about heroes, my mind became flooded with ideas and concepts. Family members, historical figures and celebrities had all come to mind. However, this person was the first name that came to mind. This man, depending on your prospective, is either a hero or a villain. To many, he and his qualities are basically the definition of a hero. He has a no-quit attitude, a passion, and a fire in his heart. He has the heart and soul of a true warrior and champion. He has never run, he has fought through the down times, the lows, to achieve greatness, and reach those highs, those great moments.

    Nicolas Cage is one of my role models because he is a severely underappreciated actor. His talent levels are off the charts, yet people just can’t seem to recognize his unbelievable skills as both an actor, and as an entertainer. But despite the hate he receives he continues to make Oscar-worthy motion pictures such as National Treasure, National Treasure 2, Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance, and Season of the Witch. He deserves a spot on my hypothetical Mt. Rushmore because of his intrepid nature and uncanny acting skills.…

    Sean Penn pleasantly surprised me in his portrayal of Sam Dawson, a young man with special needs who fights to regain custody of his seven-year-old daughter. Sure, some of the disability stereotypes are present in this movie: goofy clothes, bizarre laugh..., but there is also depth to the character. We can see Sam's frustration at not understanding the world around him, his difficulty pulling out the salient features when telling his story, his rigidity with routines, his perseveration on details. These are traits many of us are familiar with and demonstrate that the screenwriters did some research in this…
