Please name actor, character name, and movie.

Ari from Entourage. HATE Jeremy Piven. LOVE Ari.
- Derrick
Clive Owen, Larry, Closer. and Killian Murphy, Jim, 28 Days Later.
- rachel
Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
JD - Gilbert Grape
- Vicky
Clive Owen in Closer; Ed Norton in The Painted Veil; early Gary Oldman. A kooky list, I know.
- Donna Mugavero
Christian Slater, Hard Harry Hardon, Pump up the Volume.. reminds me so much of podcasting. That is if I had to pick another male. For pure comedy value it'd have to be Pee Wee Herman! ;P
- alphaxion
I know this is television, but House.
- Bonnie Dean
the lead man Ryan Reynolds plays in Definitely, Maybe. or Just Friends.
- Krista K
Robert Downey Jr. Tony Stark. Iron Man.

My wife really is in love with House, too. I don't get it.
- Bret Taylor
@Krista, good one! And @Lindsay, what can I say? I'm old-school. :)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
+1 Abby. I love just about all the male leads on TB. Lafayette in the gold thong, FTW.
- Derrick
Oh yeah, Jack Shepard from Lost. I'm loving that action too.
- Derrick
Sayid is hot, but conflicted, and his taste in women (the whiner) kinda sucked. OK: Edward Norton's character in the Painted Veil: huzzah!
- anna sauce
Ew, none of the guys in Lost. Well, Jin got hot once his hair grew out. Curly-headed Koreans FTW!
- Admiral Anika
Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting, and if we're talking Lost I'm going to say a probably unpopular one -- Charlie Pace.
- heather ♥s fauns on mars.
King Namor, the Sub-Mariner. Just think how agile and strong he must be; unlike regular human males, this guy has THREE ways of getting around: swimming, flying (with tiny wings on his ankles, even), AND walking...and he does all three well! And being a comic book character, you know they draw him very well-formed!
- MiniMage TKDteacher of FF
Gary Oldman, Sirius Black, Harry Potter's Azkaban ;) From Lost I teeter between Sawyer and Jack. Sawyer's a bad boy with a heart of gold but Jack is a doctor with a dark side....
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Jude Law as either Alfie in Alfie or the Gigolo robot in AI or Andy Garcia as Vincent Mancini in The Godfather III

None of you ladies picked Jack Black as "Miles" opposite Kate Winslet in The Holiday? Yeah, well the rest of the world forgot as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

Napoleon Dynamite. well, for somebody out there...

As a companion to Tamara's post: who do you think is a very underrated actor or actress?
heather ♥s fauns on mars., rachel, Steven Perez and 2 other people liked this
Although he's starting to get his due, for me, it's Paul Giamatti.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, I was just thinking about posting the same question
- Tamara J.
Regina King? I wish she would get more than sassy black girl roles.
- Derrick
I agree with Akiva. And let me add: Joan Allen.
- Donna Mugavero
Jonathan Rhys Meyers
- Tamara J.
Good one, Donna. Joan's great.
- Akiva Moskovitz
you
- Josh Haley
I like Jeffrey Wright a lot.
- Rodfather
I was going to add Parker Posey, but instead I'll say Jennifer Coolidge.
- Donna Mugavero
Good one, Rodfather. JW is an amazing talent.
- Derrick
I second Jeffrey Wright and add Bill Paxton as well as Alec Baldwin.
- Alex Scoble
Terence Howard.
- Steven Perez
Yeah, they really screwed him over on that Iron Man 2 deal.
- Alex Scoble
Derrick, I agree with you. Regina King is very underrated. Rodfather, you're right too Wright is underrated. That guy's a chameleon.
- Admiral Anika
Underrated by whom? But anyway, Gillian Anderson in House of Mirth.
- Rick Powell
Has Joan Allen made a movie since that tear jerker with Kevin Costner?
- R. Ferguson
Ooh, I'll add Joan Cusack to this list.
- Admiral Anika
I <3 Lili Taylor
- Rodfather
Sandra Oh, and the girl from Dr. Horrible
- anna sauce
Sandra Oh: *swoon*
- Bren -- Not Grinchy
Edward Norton (I'm thinking American History X, not so much Hulk...) Has he ever been nominated for anything?
- rachel
+100 to anna for Felicia Day.
- Steven Perez
I have to bring up Gary Oldman. He was my college buddy's favorite actor.
- Rodfather
John Noble, who played Denethor in Return Of The King
- Timothy Griffin
Timothy Olyphant--hell yes!
- Krista K
James McAvoy. He's been snubbed twice for an Oscar as far as I'm concerned.
- heather ♥s fauns on mars.
If I were a writer/director, I'd create a vehicle around Roshan Seth, who is mesmerizing when he's not given bit parts (http://www.imdb.com/name...) -- check him out, for example, In "London Kills Me" or "MIssissippi Masala"
- Stephen Mack
I agree about Jeffrey Wright. Also Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sophie Okenedo and maybe even Anne Hathaway even though she is now getting more pub.
- Amani
Sorry, but neither Gary Oldman nor Edward Norton, both terribly talented, are under-rated. And Norton has been Oscar-nominated for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.
- Rick Powell
I LOVE Pat and Sarsgaard is a very brave actor, as well. But Clarkson has been Oscar-nominated so she's disqualified. (SO easy to forget who's been nominated, isn't it?)
- Rick Powell

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I get the action awesomeness, but as a whole movie it didn't work for me.
- Vinay | विनय
Jerry Maguire and High Fidelity (the latter was a near miss for me)
- Caffeinated Sue
Matrix or LotR. Star Wars, though I've never really seen it (was dragged to two, fell asleep in the first 10 minutes of both) so hard to say I don't "like" it.
- Alix Whitmire
The English Patient
- Josh Haley
Titanic

Mean Girls. Friends and wife liked it; for me, it was 2 hours of my life gone.
- Great Scott!
The Dark Knight

Spiderman 2

Lord of the Rings trilogy. I'm just not into that type of epic fantasy. I'm more of a sci-fi fan, though I do like some fantasy stuff, like Stardust and Mirrormask. Also, in general I'm not a fan of any of the Star Wars movies, new or old. I kind of like the original Star Wars movies as far as a little bit of nostalgia, but really if I never watched any of those movies again, I wouldn't care.

Kill Bill (I've fallen asleep 4 times trying to watch this movie - nojoke)

Superbad.
- Steven Perez
ditto Superbad. I thought the concept of the movie was probably better than the execution, in which it became Revenge of the Nerds. Sort of.
- Rick Powell
Crash
- Josh Haley
Citizen Kane. I never got all the fuss.
- JoEllen
JoEllen, some movies are valued as much for the historical contexts in which they were released as for their contents. Most people can't stand Un Chien Andalou but it is one of the most important films released in the 20th century. Heck, protesters firebombed the cinema which was trying to show L'Age d'Or. Not trying to disqualify your opinion; just felt compelled to defend because I'm a big dumb movie nerd.

Phantoms. "Affleck, you were the bomb in Phantoms, yo!"

Sorry Brian...I like the campy breakdancing movies as awful as they are acting-wise. Plus, you didn't actually think I was "all there" to begin with, right? o_O

L4S - you see the South Park tribute to the ultimate fight scene on They Live. shot for shot, longest fight ever. Hilarious. The SP ep was Cripple Fight.

I have a few the one that pops into my head is Silent Hill.

Speed Racer (although I know I have a few people on my side; it's more polarizing than universally hated, perhaps)
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Josh: No! I'll have to look that up...haha!
- Live4Emma (L4S)
L4S - Someone needs to do a split-screen of those two movies for that scene...would be epic

Kill Bill.

Undercover Brother

Everyone hates Money Train? I liked it.
- Rick Powell
Speed Racer was a real trip and certainly more successful than the last Matrix movie. I liked Spider Man 3 and have been surprised that most Americans hated it. It was popular in Central Europe.

- teh Dork Knight aka Kenny
I usually answer Rear Window, Bande a part, or sometimes even No Country for Old Men, depending on who's asking.

I don't think I have a single favorite, because now that I think about it, Shawshank Redemption is pretty up there...as well as Blood Sport, Enter The Dragon, and Last Dragon

Can't choose 1 - Fight Club,The Usual Suspects, Dogma & Heathers.
- Jennifer Marie Sandbank
Kenley was one of my favorites but she is beginning to really annoy me. She's acting out her insecurities by ridiculing others and that just makes her seem so young & childish. Laughing while they were critiquing Joe was just rude even if his outfit was horrible.
Fancy Fembot and rachel liked this
Agreed. In the first few weeks she was my fave but now I kinda want to smack her. Also, am I the only one who didn't think Suede's outfit was that bad? The way they were talking about it, I felt like I must be looking at the wrong person or something.
- Shannon Jiménez
Seriously when did she become such a brat? Next week it looks like she's going to go too far. No one messes with the GUNN.
- rachel
I think they are also editing Kinley bad.
