Tom Cruise

He might not have had the female appeal of a Pitt or someone else, but damn he hasn't turned out a flop.

Either Clint Eastwood or Ben Affleck since I'd like to write and direct as well.

Sean Connery

Probably the best overall quality of co-stars

Well, if I don't care about quality, I take Adam Sandler. The guy has more money than God, and now just makes movies as an excuse to get the studios to pay for a vacation to exotic locales with all of his friends. Let's be honest, his life is awesome.

But if I'm being honest with who I am, I'd much rather be a steady and respected character actor. Get a lot work, but I can still walk down the street and not have anyone bother me. I think being famous would suck. Sometimes, a guy just wants to take his kid to DisneyWorld and not be hassled.

So, I'd want to be Alan Tudyk. Been in some good movies, primarily get to do voice work these days, and is generally beloved by fanatics, so if I wanted a dose of the adoration, I could show up at a Firefly convention or something.

I think Lukas Haas could be that guy. So that would be my choice.

Woody Harrelson. True Detective was rarified air.

Woody Harrelson.

Good choice. Some really great roles and very broad in range. I'd have to go with Leo from the current crop but Cary Grant all time.

Surprised no one mentioned Morgan Freeman. Lots of great roles.
