1. Aaliyah -- Romeo Must Die
   Following up on her box office success in Romeo Must Die, Aaliyah starred alongside Stuart Townsend, Vincent Perez and Lena Olin in the 2001 film The Queen of the Dammed, directed by Michael Rymer. Aaliyah played the title role of Akasha, in the supernatural adventure based on the third novel in the Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. Aaliyah read all the chronicles and was intrigued by vampiric information. She even had the opportunity to talk to Anne Rice who was pleased that she received the role. Aaliyah worked very hard for this role with her speech instructor and mime specialist for movement both were referred to her by her beloved acting coach Harold Guskin who was on the set for RMD. Joann and WB Baron worked with her on the set for "Queen Of The Dammed".
2. Romeo -- Friar Lawrence
   Juliet’s mother, completely unaware of her daughter's secret marriage to Romeo, informs Juliet that she will marry a man named Paris in a few days. Juliet, outraged, refuses to comply. Her parents tell her that she must marry Paris and the Nurse agrees with them. Juliet asks Friar Lawrence for advice, insisting she would rather die than marry Paris. Fr. Lawrence gives Juliet a potion which will make her appear dead and tells her to take it the night before the wedding. He promises to send word to Romeo - intending the two lovers be reunited in the Capulet vault.
3. Jet Li -- Lethal Weapon
   The film will be Andrzej Bartkowiak's fourth as director, having previously directed Jet Li in Romeo Must Die and Cradle 2 the Grave, and Steven Seagal in Exit Wounds. If that doesn't sound like much of a resume, Bartkowiak's record as a Cinematographer has somewhat greater credibility. Thirty two films, from Terms of Endearment in 1983, the Michael Douglas classic Falling Down, and a string of Nineties action flicks: Speed, Species, US Marshals and Lethal Weapon 4.

5. Kristin Kreuk -- Roles
   Kristin Kreuk and Michael Clarke Duncan have signed up to join Chris Klein and Rick Yune in Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom's Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li. According to Variety, Kreuk will star as martial artist Chun-Li and Duncan will play Balrog, while Klein is stepping into the role of Nash and Yune is taking on the mystical Gen.
6. Jet Li -- Starring Jet Li
   In 2002, the film Hero starring Jet Li was released in the US market. This film was both a critical and commercial success. Later, Jet took a big risk with the 2005 action drama, Danny the Dog, in which he portrays an adult with the mentality of a child who has been raised like an animal. It was a somber film with more depth than had been previously seen in Jet's films.
7. Jet Li -- Hong Kong
   One of the most popular stars of Hong Kong films of the early 1990s, the compact, charismatic Jet Li was at one time considered the heir to the late Bruce Lee. A child prodigy in martial arts, he excelled in the high-kicking "wu shu" style, winning several national championships and traveling around the world (including a 1974 US visit to the Nixon White House). Before turning 20, Jet Li made his film debut as a fighting priest in "Shaolin Temple" (1982), which was banned in Taiwan but proved popular throughout Asia. After two sequels, "Shaolin Temple II: Kids From Shaolin" (1984) and "Shaolin Temple III: Martial Arts of Shaolin" (1986), both of which showcased his talents, Jet made his directorial debut with the unsuccessful "Born to Defend" (... 1986).
8. Grace Park
   Grace Park was born Ji Eun, the daughter of successful restaurateurs in Seoul. She is therefore the truest 'Seoul Sister', having grown up in Seoul! As a youngster she went to a private school rated the best in the city, and known for its tough academic standards and for a special focus on athletics. At the time, Ji Eun focused on speed skating, which she had a talent for, and which is something of a national obsession in Korea. Indeed, when young, she captured the national championship in this sport. At the age of 10, her parents, both golfers, introduced her to golf.
9. 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.
10. Malcolm X -- Malcolm Xs
    Malcolm X had no illusions in the so-called differences between the Democrats and Republicans. “One is the wolf, the other is a fox. No matter what, they’ll both eat you.” In the 1964 presidential elections, when the candidates were Johnson (the “peace” candidate) vs. Goldwater (the “war” candidate), Malcolm X exposed the deciet of this phony distinction.
