[QUOTE=spoke-] I wouldn’t say I seek him out, but [Chris Cooper](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0177933/) has made a lot of movies I enjoy. He has very good taste in selecting scripts, I guess. [/QUOTE] I love to watch him; I think he’s probably the most underappreciated actor working today. 🙂 ---

Edward Norton John Cusack Cate Blanchett Laura Linney Alan Rickman Emma Thompson Kate Winslet After typing my list I was thinking of the films that have 2 or 3 of these folks in them. The only one I couldn’t pair up with anyone else (without looking it up) is Edward Norton…but wait, wasn’t Laura Linney in Primal Fear? So…how nice of them to show up together ---
