Michael Clarke Duncan for sure. his role in the green mile alone should give him the main event roles for sure.
hes always being stuck on the side and i think he deserves bigger and better roles.
hes starting to become that guy that appears in alot of movies and doesn't do alot in them.
hes tall yeah but hes one hell on an actor as well.
the green mile through a critically aclaimed movie which i don't alway like once i go see the movie this was one of the few exeptions and is one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time.
when they put him in that chair and they were all crying that was the first time i cried in a movie for a long time.
tom hanks through the main actor in the movie didn't give the biggest preformance in my opinion.

i know he has a bit part in "The Good Shepard", but I wouldn't mind some more:
Joe Pesci

Also: Simon Pegg. I loved that he was in "M:I:III", but as Shaun proved he can carry a movie very very well. Maybe he doesn't want to make the jump to 'American' movies, but I think he would do splendidly. No, I wouldn't mind seeing more of Simon at all.
