1. Angelina Jolie -- Movies
   Certainly, it still has a meaning for Angelina Jolie. She was in Pakistan a few weeks before it happened. She was going to Afghan refugee camps, and she apprehended something in the misery she witnessed there. "I was meeting people who had been displaced by the Taliban, meeting people who been displaced since the cold war. People had been displaced for so long that the camps were exhausted. They were destroying the camps and moving into the cities, and there was a lot of unrest, a lot of anger.
2. Will Patton -- Postman

3. Will Patton -- Sam Shepard
   Patton, 38, wonders how he will assume the role of a much older man. Since he never saw President Baseball, Roydon tells him that Brendan Fraser played a character in his early 60s without any makeup in the little-seen Shout! film. He took Oldzonareveren, a medicine rapidly speeds up the aging process. Patton would take this same drug to play Gus. He wants to know if it's safe, and Roydon asks him to define that word. Patton wants to know exactly what the drug does to him internally to make him look elderly on the outside.
4. Christopher Eccleston
   Christopher Eccleston and Jonathan Jackson have been added to the cast of the action/adventure fantasy, The Dark is Rising for Fox and Walden Media. David L. Cunningham directs the film based on Susan Cooper’s novel about a young man who travels back and forth through time to fight evil, says Variety. The rest of the cast includes Ian McShane, Frances Conroy and Alexander Ludwig.
5. Delroy Lindo -- Cider House Rules
   Delroy Lindo (born November 18, 1952) is a Tony Award[2] and Screen Actors Guild Award- nominated Satellite Award- winning British actor. Best known for his roles as Mr. Rose in The Cider House Rules and Catlett in Get Shorty.
6. Robert Duvall -- Roles
   Academy Award-winning actor Robert Duvall has starred in vivid roles as grizzled cowboys, a mad preacher, an overbearing Marine pilot, and consiglieri to a Mafia don. The most memorable... may be Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, the wild surf-loving air cavalry commander in "Apocalypse Now," Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 masterpiece set in the Vietnam War.
7. Christopher Eccleston -- Roles
   Relatively unemployed as an actor for some years after his graduation, Eccleston took a variety of odd jobs at a supermarket, on building sites, and as an artist's model. His luck began to change in 1991, when he was chosen to play the protagonist of Let Him Have It. He won acclaim for his haunting portrayal of Derek Bentley, whose real-life murder of a policeman and subsequent hanging for the crime was the subject of dispute in the British legal system, as Bentley had the mental age of a nine-year-old. Eccleston's handling of the role paved the way for more work, and he was soon starring opposite Robbie Coltrane in Cracker, a popular British television series. He stayed with the show from 1993 until 1994, when he was cast in Shallow Grave, the stylish thriller from Danny Boyle, John Hodge, and Andrew MacDonald, the team who would later make Trainspotting. The film, which starred Eccleston, Ewan McGregor, and Kerry Fox as three flatmates with a corpse on their hands, proved a success, and Eccleston won praise for his portrayal of an unhinged accountant.
8. Veronica Guerin -- Joel Schumacher
   Veronica Guerin was a remarkable woman. This film version of the last few dramatic years of her life does a good job of showing that. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer (The Rock, Armageddon, Gone in 60 Seconds) and director Joel Schumacher (St. Elmo's Fire, Batman Forever, Phone Booth), tell a restrained story, almost completely free of melo-drama, that details the events that led to the murder of Veronica Guerin; a reporter for Ireland's 'The Sunday Independent' in 1996.
9. Will Patton -- New York
   Will Patton joins the company to play Michael in Valparaiso. A native of South Carolina, he began his theatre career in New York where he won two Obie Awards for What Did He See? at the Public Theater and Fool for Love at Circle Repertory Theatre.

He has ... been seen on television in the series "VR-5," as well as in "The Equalizer," "A Gathering of Old Men," "Dillinger," "Kent State," "In the DeepWoods," and "The Book," among others.
10. Coyote Ugly -- Bars
    If your idea of a film is Barbie doll girls in skin tight outfits dancing on a bar, then Coyote Ugly is a must-see for you. Sad to say it, but there's more plot in your average rock video, of which Coyote Ugly never progresses far beyond. What's most annoying is the wasted opportunity to deliver more, with first-time director David McNally (Kangaroo Jack) showing flashes of talent, and Piper Perabo (The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, Slap Her She's French) giving a decent performance despite the shallowness of the part.
