The first two batches have favored the older actors. This batch should appeal more to the younger crowd.
There’s no real point to these lists, or your replies, except for whatever information you glean by comparing your own first impressions with those of others who participate. It’s primarily a “for fun” thing.
Please give your knee-jerk response, and if nothing come to mind within 30 seconds or so, just use “none” as a reasonable response.
Do your own list before looking at others people’s replies.
I’m really enjoying comparing the actors who we’re in agreement with vs. the ones where the answers are all over the place.
Heath Ledger – Brokeback Mtn., closely followed by A Knight’s Tale – !!!
Hugh Jackman – Oklahoma (on B’way – I saw on PBS)
Leonardo Di Caprio – Titanic
Fred Astaire (by request ) (merci!) – Top Hat
Macaulay Culkin – Home Alone
Charlie Sheen – his sitcom
Rob Lowe – West Wing
Ice Cube – none (it’s Ice-T on L&O:SVU, right?)
Chris Rock – the one where he plays a politician
Reese Witherspoon – Walk the Line (because I just saw it last weekend)
Kirsten Dunst – she played Marion Davies in a film about the murder on the Hearst yacht, I can’t think of the title – Cat’s Meow, maybe? good flick, BTW, Eddie Izzard plays Charlie Chaplin
Angelina Jolie – Star Captain and the Worold of Tomorrow
Natalie Portman – Star Wars, the Early Years
Sherilyn Fenn – Twin Peaks
Dakota Fanning – know who she is, but have never seen her in anything
Whoopi Goldberg – Hollywood Squares
CCH Pounder – looked her up the other day to use her in a clue and realized she doesn’t really HAVE a signature role
Joanne Woodward – none, mostly Mrs. Paul Newman – isn’t that a sad commentary!
Joanne Woodward - The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds (never seen it, but I looked it up in IMDB a while ago, just because of the title)

Leonardo Di Caprio – Titanic
Fred Astaire (by request) – No Association

These are still supposed to be the first role I think of? In this thread , I deliberately tried to think of a second role after the knee-jerk. Oh well.
Heath Ledger - I can’t remember who he is.
Hugh Jackman - Wolverine.
Leonardo Di Caprio - Romeo in Romeo Plus Juliet
Fred Astaire (by request ) - The same musical comedy character he played in all those movies with Ginger Rogers. They had different names, but they were all the same to me.
Macaulay Culkin - The brat who was Home Alone
Charlie Sheen - I can’t avoid thinking of his Father in Apocalypse Now. I didn’t see Platoon, but whoever he was in that, I guess.
Rob Lowe - All those stupid movies from the Eighties that run together in my head.
Ice Cube - Nothing jumps out, because I can’t remember which one is Ice-T and which Ice Cube.
Chris Rock - The skinny junkie in New Jack City.
Reese Witherspoon - I know the name, but…
Kirsten Dunst - Again.
Angelina Jolie - Laura Croft or something (I didn’t see it)
Natalie Portman - The young girl in The Professional
Sherilyn Fenn - Helena (Boxed)
Dakota Fanning - Who’s that?
Whoopi Goldberg - The bartender in the new Star Trek (yeah, I know, but I still think of it as the new one)
CCH Pounder - I’ve seen the name, but I don’t know the actress
Joanne Woodward - Eve in The Three Faces of Eve.
Huh. I guess I watch a lot of old movies, but not so many new ones.
The hamsters apparently ate my first reply (before I thought to copy the text), so here I go again:

Hugh Jackman – Wolverine
Leonardo Di Caprio – Jack “King of the World!” in Titanic
Fred Astaire (by request ) – He was in Top Hat
Macaulay Culkin – The kid in Home Alone
Charlie Sheen – His role on the sitcom Two and a Half Men
Rob Lowe – His bit with the Snow White impersonator on the Academy Awards telecast, followed by his role on the series The West Wing
Ice Cube – Rapper-turned-actor, but I can’t think of any of his roles
Chris Rock – Narrator of the Everybody Hates Chris sitcom based on his choldhood
Reese Witherspoon – Tracy Flick, Election
Kirsten Dunst – Displayed her assets to considerable advantage in Spiderman. Also one of the dumbest contestants ever to appear on a celebrity Jeopardy! tournament.
Angelina Jolie – Lara Croft, Tomb Raider
Natalie Portman – Her role in The Professional
Sherilyn Fenn – She was on the Twin Peaks series
Dakota Fanning – The girl in I Am Sam
Whoopi Goldberg – A nun in Sister Act and at least one sequel thereof
