[The General]

While taboo these days, Kevin Spacey was very good in almost all roles I've seen him in

Will Smith- Sic degrees of separation

Robin Williams- while he had some clunkers, could pull of serious and comedic

Same with Tom Hanks

Christoph Waltz- inglorious b@stards

Alan Rickman

I thought about Alan Rickman in Diehard. Some of the lines he delivered were 100% on him and he made the character great.

 

[The General]

Robin Williams had a way of delivering performances that could have easily been so cheesy or complete sap in a meaningful way.

Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting could have been so corny…but he knocked them both out of the park.

A remarkable talent.

 

[UncleZen]

PSH and Robin in Patch Adam's. Very underrated film, imo.

 

[Bracie Smathers]

Jack Nicholson - One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

She certainly doesn’t have the name value of a Marilyn Monroe or even Lauren Bacall but thanks to her roles in NxNW and On the Waterfront she will live on forever in movie history. She gives a great interview too and seems like a real awesome woman.
