Actors you want to see more of?
Ever since I saw Slumdog Millionaire, I thought Freida Pinto had that gorgeous, non-American look with acting chops that could make her a star.

I obviously forgot about her until I saw the trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes and thought she still looked gorgeous, but wondered with the good acting and looks why she isn't or hasn't been in more since then.

I know she has some upcoming (Immortals) and yes, maybe it is because she is choosing her roles wisely or something, but I really thought SM would make her much more visible than she has been.




So what actors or actresses would you like to see more of or thought would have blown up more because of a particular performance(s)?

Yes, she's also in Immortals. She was also in that movie called Miral and You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger

Carla Gallo. Love her but she's not in a lot of stuff, especially not movies.

I wouldn't say that Freida Pinto is choosing her roles wisely.

Gael García Bernal. He's still working, just in films I never get a chance to see.

Putting aside the final product, you can't fault her for working with Woody Allen and Julian Schnabel. Tarsem always does interesting work and the Apes movie was probably a big payday.

Mark Strong(Sinestro in Green Lantern)....I know he's been in a lot of films of late, but this guy is truly talented.

Alanna Ubach...Another versatile actress.

Mods should rename this, "Actresses Scott1598 wants to spank it too".
