The actresses in movies that really move me are lesser known and I can't think of their names. Tina Fey is pretty great as far as comedic actresses go. Rachel McAdams is good too.

In which he was a police officer right? Even John Q is pretty much the same acting style. He always plays a guy that yells a lot.

Good list, Red...

I think I could have named Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, or Anthony Hopkins for my actor pick, also.

Thanks.

The older actors just have a bigger body of work. That's why I made two categories.

I like this half of your list and I would add Denzel Washington, Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock, Brad Pitt....

I watched Leno last night and Dick Van Dyke was a guest. He is 85 years old and looks absolutely great. Talk about someone with an interesting film and television history....
