Alec baldwin. Not a phenominal actor, but i always enjoy him, and he seems to have fun with really awful roles.

Bruce Willis

I think Bruce Willis is maintaining a certain standard these days
I agree.... I'm drawing a blank, which is unbelieveable....

Sigourney Weaver. Alien, Aliens, Ghostbusters, The Year of Living Dangerously (I hated it, but it was nominated for Oscars), most recently... The Village...

I saw it when i was about 14 or 15. I imagine i would have a very different opinion of it if i saw it now.

Speaking of Miss Weaver. I loved her when i was younger, because of ghostbuster and the alien movies, i wanted her to have my babies. Then i saw her topless when i was about 13. Shattered all of my illusions. Now i just think she is a great actor...

i actually thought of another one: Brendan Gleeson. I thought he was great as Frank in 28 days later,but he has been in some real crap. Lake Placid was hardly a serious movie, but The Village... That movie is a blight on so many good carreers. Except Bryce Dallas Howard. i think she just sucks.

warren oates


listened to the audio commentary for sleeping dogs, roger donaldson (director) told the story of how they wanted jack nicholson for a part but they only had $5k fo the role. so jack turned it down but someone recommended oates as he would take it as long as they threw in a holiday so he could go fishing when he'd finished filming.

I'd say Christopher Walken and Samuel L. Jackson.

You gotta put Micheal Caine on the list

Sure he's a little more discriminating now, but back in the 70s and 80s, he was the guy who couldn't say no. He's been in over 100 films!!!!

Jaws 4 anyone?
