1. Jason Schwartzman
   An exceptional young player from a family of Hollywood royalty, Jason Schwartzman wasn't looking for an acting career. Yet as the star of Wes Anderson's droll comedy "Rushmore" (1998), he proved not only a capable performer, but a powerful screen presence with a promising future. As enterprising love-struck Max Fischer, the diminutive (5'5"), dark-haired Schwartzman (who possessed expressive eyes, thick brows and a generally snarky demeanor) delivered a sensitive, engaging and remarkably funny debut performance. Given the daunting task of making his film debut in a starring role, the actor's performance perfectly complemented costar and comedy legend Bill Murray as Max's best friend and chief rival for the affections of Rushmore Academy's first grade teacher, the luminous young widow Miss Cross (Olivia Williams). Schwartzman proved a natural, with impeccable comic timing and deadpan dry delivery, firmly establishing him as a bona fide talent right out of the gate.
2. Jason Patric
   MARCH 30--Actor Jason Patric was busted by Texas cops early yesterday and charged with misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest and public intoxication. The 37-year-old thespian smelled of alcohol and fought with police after they tried to cuff him, according to the below probable cause affidavit filed in the City of Austin Municipal Court. Patric's trouble began at 2:45 AM when he mocked a patrolman who sought to clear large crowd of pedestrians out of a roadway. Asked if he had a problem complying with the police directive, Patric "assumed an aggressive stance." That, of course, is never a good idea when dealing with the fuzz. In short order, Patric tussled with the officer and fell to the ground with the cop (where he was eventually cuffed).
