I like Hoffman as well. Probably could have put Paul Newman on my list as well. As for TV, I would add Andy Griffith and Don Knotts in addition to Dick Van Dyke. I watch a lot more tv so my list would be totally differnt and probably larger as I am not a big movie guy.

McPhisto: No actresses? I actually had a hard time coming up with actresses too...at least based on talent. :wink:

More surprising than that is Billingsley has a dressing room? Is the bathroom at his house not good enough?

The Hulk movie was good. Iron Man was better, but this Hulk movie was 10 times better than the crap they put out a few years ago.

I know they did, but that was a good movie. Sure a little predictable but most movies are.

I stand by my assessment. I left that movie marvelling at how all of those guys were overrated. It would have lost nothing if the three of them had been swapped out with Matthew McConaughey and two of his missing dirty shirts.
