exactly. He plays the quirky roles that most actors probably wouldn't want or couldn't pull off.

No mention of Affleck or Lopez yet? I like Affleck, but J.Lo started out great in Out of Sight then had to go make a music career then proceeds to make nothing but crap movies ever since.

She is (was?) going to Harvard, so she can only do films in the summer.

Jason Schwartzman. Starts on a career high with Rushmore, and now he's doing some show on Fox that is bound to be canceled. He was in Spun, but that blew, and some other crappy college comedy. It's really a shame, because I think he's quite a good actor.

As for Sean William Scott, I think he has enough charisma to stick around for a while.

No one cares about Shannon Elizabeth anymore.

Jason Biggs was great in Anything Else, I can imagine him branching out a bit more.

As for Gretchen Mol...what? She was in The Shape of Things last year and she was great.

No way. Go watch Saving Private Ryan again.

I'm not disputing the talent boys, his turn in the Gift was one of the most brillantly twisted performances of the 90's for my money. But what has he done of note lately? SPR is 7 years ago now, and then he seemed on the fast track and he's simply not on the fast track now. He'll still work, everyone mentioned will still work, but I think some have jumped.

i thought he did an awesome job in both Basic and Cold Mountain. as was said, he's a great character actor...possibly the Harry Dean Stanton of the newer generation.

She has a role in 'Garden State' and that looks like a winner.

when rounders came out she was considered the next big "it" girl. i never understood it myself, but she was pretty hot. she's a good actress but she has pretty much run that early prediction to death.

He was asbsolutely fantastic in Tykwer's Heaven. As mentioned before, Ribisi isn't a "star", he's an actor, and a damned good one.

Two pages, and nobody mentions Paul Walker?

You guys are slipping.

I can't consider Paul Walker as someone who has "jumped the shark" because i have never seen him in anything worthwhile.

I haven't seen Skeet Ulrich in a movie since Chill Factor

Shannon Elizabeth - started off in a couple of decent flicks and now she has fallen so far that she is pimpin herself on While You Were Out and that 70's Show.
Tara Ried how is she in movies? She is THE WORST actress I have ever seen. Pornstars in bestiality films have more charisma.
Giovanni Ribisi is a great actor and he will have a long career.

Kirsten Dunst, whose last noteworthy films were Interview with the Vampire and Bring it On.

Elisha Dushku, whose last noteworth film was Bring it On.

Jessica Alba. Why exactly do we know this lady's name.

Everyone on the cast of that 70's show. They should have killed that show after its first season and ended in greatness.

Piper Perabo: burnout.

Yeah, nobody saw that pesky Spiderman movie.

We know who Jessica Alba is because she has an absolutely fabulous ass. It got J Lo pretty far...we'll see.

Also, that kid from That 70s Show was pretty damn good in Traffic.

Yeah, I'm sure Kirsten's appearance in spiderman added a good $200 - $300 million to the bottomline.

I think the phrase "jump the shark" has jumped the shark a while ago.

Or The Virgin Suicides, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, etc.

I don't think anyone gives a crap about Heath Ledger anymore. He was all the rage when A Knight's Tale came out and then did some other movie where it looked he played a priest which tanked.

CONNIE AND CARLA was the a 25 foot Great White shark for Nia Vardalos.

and from dark angel (you hit it right about that ass.

sarah michelle gellar absolutely.

Ryan Phillippe?

Jessica Alba ass ummmmmm ahhhhhhhh
