Hey, I think I made it in! If I counted correctly I’m #45. And judging by some of the other choices folks are making, that’s probably going to be my rank too. I’ll bet I’m the only one who put “Laughton” on #1 ---

[QUOTE=Dolores Reborn] [Sam Elliot](http://s18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/rmix/celebs/?action=view¤t=ELLIOT.jpg) acted in a lot of movies - Roadhouse, um…help me out here. [/QUOTE] Thanks. I looked him up on imdb, and the only films I’ve seen with him are _The Big Lebowski_ (“The Stranger”–does he even appear onscreen, or is he just the narrator?) and _Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid_, in which he has only a bit part. As for the other guy, I’ve never seen Law & Order (or much else that’s currently on TV). ---

S’okay. Bet I’m the only one who said “Jim Jarmusch” anyway. I know, he’s a director. But he does do cameos. And he’s so cool! ---
