Ben Afflacks brother always struck me as a good actor.

Not really someone who didn't make it big, because he was big for a while, but whatever happened to Michael Keaton? I always thought he would start showing up again as he got older

If you're talking about Caey Afleck, he was in a movie recently called Out of the Furnace- apparently the critics didn't like it, but it is an awesome movie and I thought he did a great job in it.

Yeah I never understood why Keaton fell off the face of the Earth for a while. He is making a bit of a come back now. I like him in everything.

I always thought Dana Carvey was hilarious and was surprised he didn't make it bigger.

It seemed like that one flop just killed his career. Same with Mike Myers and Love Guru.

Up until very recently I would have said Jared Leto, since that really doesn't hold water anymore I will say Emil Hirsch.

Kyle Chandler. I've been pulling for this guy since Homefront. He's still getting great bit parts since FLN ended but I'd like to see him in something more substantial.

All the ones I like. If I like an actor, I want them to get as much renown as they can and to all win 3-4 oscars. Can't pick one.

Callis was just plain brilliant in BSG, and then he has these bit parts where he often plays frantic characters. He does that well. He's also pretty funny when he wants to be.

I honestly think JJ is content with small rolls from this point on, he's going to be the lead in a show on Showtime, but yeah, I think he's content with small stuff now, and do you blame him since he gets to come home to Diane Kruger every day?


Not at all. JJ just seems like a grounded dude. No frills, no need to be in every movie. I kind of like that, but his disposition certainly lends himself to a kind of confident air of classic male actors.

Sean Astin.

I thought for sure his performance in Rudy would have catapulted him to super stardom.

Now he's on Adam Sandler life support

He's a huge Gump that I think is now a professional bass fisherman.
