For me it’s Eric Balfour. I don’t know what it is about him, but he’s hot. I loved him as Gabriel Dimas in Six Feet Under. I liked the very brief role he had at the end of Second Hand Lions. I even tried to watch the other short-lived cop show he was in.
That’s all.
I like Eric Balfour, too. He reminds me of my friend Rob, I guess. They look about the same and seem to have a lot of the same personality traits.
I’m really enjoying Conviction, so far. Have you seen Rx? It’s a small, kinda indie movie, but I don’t recall ever seeing anything that featured Mr. Balfour so prominently. One of those “sinking feeling” movies. And how. 
For me: Sandra Oh. Ever since Double Happiness, I’ll watch her in anything. (She’s such an astonishing physical actor, too.)
She’s just fascinating to watch.
I loves me some Eric Balfour. One of the hottest life forms on the planet.
Kirsten Dunst.
Maggie Cheung
Billy Bob Thornton. Somehow, everything he’s in is watchable.
I’d agree with Roger Ebert’s “Stanton-Walsh Rule”:
Notably, his only citations of the rule I could find were in reviews of movies that broke it, i.e., that had either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role, but still sucked donkeyballs: Wild Wild West and the utterly execrable Dream a Little Dream.
John Cusak
Isn’t this thread frighteningly similar to this one (which is still live)?
Joaquin Phoenix.
Rawwrrr.
William H Macy.
It’s led to some real stinkers (The Cooler, Sahara), some underappreciated flicks (Mystery Men), and some unmistakably quality stuff (Magnolia, Pleasantville). But no matter how many Saharas I sit through, I’ll always come back for more.
Johnny Depp.
Judge me if you must.
The Cusacks, John and Joan. It is even better if they are in the same movie!
Jodie Foster. That woman could read the phone book and I’d pay my $8 to get in. Or is it more like $15 these days?
Paul Bettany. Alternately, Rufus Sewell, or Kiefer Sutherland.
You must have loved Dark City.
Not to be a thread-pooper, but Eric Balfour just bugs the hell out of me. I think it was his character Gabriel in season 1 of Six Feet Under, where he looked and acted like every asshole wannabe-thug I went to high school with in Miami. Hated the character, and it turned me off to the actor forever. It was a shock to the system to see him early on in 24 (but at least he didn’t stick around), the two-part Buffy pilot (ditto), and Secondhand Lions. I’m sure Mr. Balfour is a nice guy in real life, but he reminds me too much of the dangerous “wigger”/thug/“American chav” types that populate South Florida.
Audrey Hepburn is the only one whose movies I go out of my way to watch just because she’s in them.
Sandra Bullock- a bad movie with her in it is still bad, but if I see a preview for a movie with her in it, I’ll pay attention even if it’s not my style and usually think, “I wouldn’t mind seeing that…”
Oh me too. Also his wife, Jennifer Connolly. Can’t forget Holly Hunter. I love her funny lisp, it reminds me of my best friend.
There’a a few for me… Laura Dern, Frances McDormand, Holly Hunter, Vincent D’Onofrio. Helen Hunt, but that has nothing to do with the movie.

David Attenborough. If he’s in it, it will be an awesome nature documentary.
