I hear he's started to smell pretty bad now too, and ya need ropes and pulleys to prop him up.

They all seem like decent actors who deserve a bit more than they’ve gotten. Although Cavill is coming into his own.
Gotta disagree with you on Welling. Always thought he was a horrific actor; and I watched all 10 years of that damn show.

I don't think Bridget Fonda will ever come back and she might have aged significantly so it will be harder to cast.

I know he is old and maybe he just quit acting years ago but it would have been nice if he did more movies.


Dustin Hoffman might be in the same boat though he has done more movies than Pesci though the "Me Too" movement might kill his career.

Brendan Fraser who has his own thread is somebody that I would not mind having a resurgence.

If he could keep it together long enough, like to see Jan-Michael Vincent do a Tarantino movie.

Just the other day saw a trailer for a movie about an old movie star who shows up for a rinky dink film festival. He's guest of honor. Stars a very aged Burt Reynolds.

No way that's gonna happen. He's only got one leg now, he's half-blind and he can no longer speak clearly.

Would like to see Christina Ricci do more big screen work outside of voice role for animated films. She was still doing strong work up until the late 2000's and then started appearing in Lifetime movies and had that very brief stint with Pan Am.

Re: Is There An Actor/Actress You've Been Rooting For To

i've always liked Zach Braff and wanted him to do more than he has. Garden State was a gem and one of my favs of all time. he has yet to replicate that and now back to tv...

Monica Bellucci is the only one coming to mind. She would have been perfect for a role in Game of Thrones.

I'm going with Steve Martin, but with a condition.

Other than some voice work, he's only done 2 movies in the last 9 years - and the last one was only a very small role. He's basically been concentrating on music and art.

I'd love to see him come back with a real dramatic role, even in an ensemble cast. He's done some drama before, but I think he'd be great with the right role.

Another good one. And I think I'm the only person who really liked Pan Am

One of his greatest performances ever as the very scary "Little Bill."

BTW, I noticed it's out on UHD now.
I'll pick it up when the price is right.

Al Pacino

Not doing stuff like the Hangman though he has Paterno on HBO in April.


I was not a huge fan or hated her but what happened to Hilary Swank?

She was a favorite in the Academy for a while with several Oscar nominations and I don't think she had plastic surgery and destroyed her face.

She's made some bad career choices, but when given the right role she can hit it out of the park. I thought she was great in Tommy Lee Jones' The Homesman.

Paul Dano.

Really enjoyed his work on Love & Mercy, Little Miss Sunshine, There Will Be Blood, and Prisoners. Hope he get a starring role sometimes.
