I refuse to beleive that the person who chose Gene Hackman has ever seen "The French Connection", "Bonnie and Clyde", "The Conversation", or "Mississipi Burning", or "Unforgiven" and seen the incredible range of this actor. To even put his name next to so-called actors like Kenannu Reeves and Ben Afflick is an insult to filmdom.

I reread that posters post and he/she actually meant that Hackman is even a greater actor than what most people give him credit for.

Drew Barrymore. If she weren't related to so many folks in Hollywood, there's no way she'd be acting. I think she's terrible.

Notice I said a little. I think his performance in Traffic was overrated, he won an oscar award for it. His accent was way off.

I generally think he is very talented actor.

I have to respond here - Zeta Jones is more beautiful - if for no other reason but, she has class. A lot of class.

Something Jolie, who is stunning I admit, does not have.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa!! How dare you!! Jolie has lots of class.

Here is a woman who:

Won the worlds first Church World Service Immigration and Refugee Program Humanitarian Award.

She is a Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations.

She set up the Jolie/Pitt Foundation to earn money for Doctors Without Borders and Global Action for Children.

She has 100% financed the Angelina Jolie conservation project in Cambodia.

In 2005 she accepted the United Nations Global Humanitarian Award.

Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace said "Angelina is living proof of the power we all have to make a difference in this world....I found her personal commitment to be an ispiration".

Of all the actors and acctresses in Hollywood, she has done the most when it comes to humanitarian issues. This is a woman who once declared that "charitable work is the greatest thing in my life" and has dedicated one third of her income to help those around the world who are suffering much more than the poorest of the poor her in our country.

Jolie of the Billy Bob days is a far cry from her status today. I would say the woman has evolved.

I just watched his old Scientology commercial yesterday (so I could understand the humor in the Jerry O'Connell parody) and I realized that, even though I already knew Cruise is pretty unintelligent, I had no idea how much. Can the guy form a coherent sentence on his own? I have not seen proof.

Add Will Ferrell, Tom Cruise, and The Rock and that's a good start to a long list.
