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. 1. Heath Ledger 2. Hugh Jackman 3. Leonardo Di Caprio 4. Fred Astaire (by request 🙂 ) 5. Macaulay Culkin 6. Charlie Sheen 7. Rob Lowe 8. Ice Cube 9. Chris Rock 10. Reese Witherspoon 11. Kirsten Dunst 12. Angelina Jolie 13. Natalie Portman 14. Sherilyn Fenn 15. Dakota Fanning 16. Whoopi Goldberg 17. CCH Pounder 18. Joanne Woodward ---

> [@Zeldar](#): > > 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. I’m really enjoying comparing the actors who we’re in agreement with vs. the ones where the answers are all over the place. 1. Heath Ledger – Brokeback Mtn., closely followed by A Knight’s Tale – !!! 2. Hugh Jackman – Oklahoma (on B’way – I saw on PBS) 3. Leonardo Di Caprio – Titanic 4. Fred Astaire (by request 🙂 ) (merci!) – Top Hat 5. Macaulay Culkin – Home Alone 6. Charlie Sheen – his sitcom 7. Rob Lowe – West Wing 8. Ice Cube – none (it’s Ice-T on L&O:SVU, right?) 9. Chris Rock – the one where he plays a politician 10. Reese Witherspoon – Walk the Line (because I just saw it last weekend) 11. 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 12. Angelina Jolie – Star Captain and the Worold of Tomorrow 13. Natalie Portman – Star Wars, the Early Years 14. Sherilyn Fenn – Twin Peaks 15. Dakota Fanning – know who she is, but have never seen her in anything 16. Whoopi Goldberg – Hollywood Squares 17. CCH Pounder – looked her up the other day to use her in a clue and realized she doesn’t really HAVE a signature role 18. Joanne Woodward – none, mostly Mrs. Paul Newman – isn’t _that_ a sad commentary! ---

These are still supposed to be the first role I think of? In [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=356803) , I deliberately tried to think of a second role after the knee-jerk. Oh well. 1. Heath Ledger - I can’t remember who he is. 2. Hugh Jackman - Wolverine. 3. Leonardo Di Caprio - Romeo in Romeo Plus Juliet 4. 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. 5. Macaulay Culkin - The brat who was Home Alone 6. 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. 7. Rob Lowe - All those stupid movies from the Eighties that run together in my head. 8. Ice Cube - Nothing jumps out, because I can’t remember which one is Ice-T and which Ice Cube. 9. Chris Rock - The skinny junkie in New Jack City. 10. Reese Witherspoon - I know the name, but… 11. Kirsten Dunst - Again. 12. Angelina Jolie - Laura Croft or something (I didn’t see it) 13. Natalie Portman - The young girl in The Professional 14. Sherilyn Fenn - Helena (Boxed) 15. Dakota Fanning - Who’s that? 16. Whoopi Goldberg - The bartender in the new Star Trek (yeah, I know, but I still think of it as the new one) 17. CCH Pounder - I’ve seen the name, but I don’t know the actress 18. 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. ---
