Who is your favorite non A-List actor/actress?
For actress, it is the beautiful and very talented Bridget Moynahan (The Recruit). Mark my words she will be a big star.

For actor, it would be that hispanic guy in Boogie Nights. I don't know his name but love him nonetheless.

1. Chris Cooper and Linda Hunt
Although they both have Oscars, they're character actors, and neither of them is very beautiful physically, so neither really seems to qualify for "A-List."

9. How weird....my answer is Luiz Guzman......
Who I believe is the hispanic Boogie Nights actor you mentioned. He's a great b-list supporting player. I haven't watched his show but I've heard it's pretty bad. But he's always a welcome presence in movies.

Before his career on Frasier, my favorite b-list actor was John Mahoney.

10. Michael Jeter, Philip Seymour Hoffman and William Macy
All three are the most underrated actors in Hollywood.

Jeter wasn't recognized for his brilliance until after his death.

13. Who cares?
I despise anyone who works for/in Hollywood. Besides, they're only people like us too. I don't consider those people "A-List" or above any of us.

17. I was going to say Joaquin, but he's kind of A-List to me.
He was the guy that first popped into my head...but eh, maybe you're right....he's never like, the lead guy...

16. CILLIAN.....Murphy. But he will go A-list,, it's alright, LOL. And Steve B
uscemi. Is he A-List? I don't know, but Steve Buscemi is awesome.

Cillian Murphy, aka Mr. 28 Days Later, is set to blow up bigtime. I got a glimpse of him a long time ago as Pig in Disco Pigs--while I wasn't too enthralled with the movie, he caught my eye. He is great to watch and seems very humble, grounded, smart in his interviews...I wish I owned stock in him. Also, I wish he could stop by my house to ...um....talk. :)

18. Well, I have so many it's hard to choose...
Ashley Judd These are my modern favorites.
Billy Bob Thorton

More on a classic level:
James Gardner
Katherine Hepburn

I'm on this Harry Potter kick right now, so those are my favorite movies. Don't ask me why. There's not logic behind it.

19. A couple
Michael Kitchen (He has done several Masterpiece Theatres and other UK TV work.)

Hugo Weaving (Look beyond the roles he's known for stateside (Matrix and Babe movies)--his performance in "Proof" was brilliant, IMHO.)

Alan Alda
