Well I would have to say Madonna makes a good second bananna. I have really liked her in the roles where she isn’t a star _A League of Their Own, Desperatly Seeking Susan, Dick Tracey_. When she plays small and off of others her performances are much better. ---

Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction. I enjoyed his role much better than Travolta’s or Samuel L. Jackson’s. ---

Tommy Lee Jones in “The Fugitive”. Evidently I wasn’t the only one thinking this. I think he got a “best supporting” Oscar for it.
