1. Paz Vega -- Tea Leoni
   Spanish actress Paz Vega initially gained wide recognition in her home country while portraying the title role of Lucia in Julio Medem's romantic drama Sex and Lucia (2001). More recent, the actress who was first noticed for playing Laura in the Spanish series 7 vidas... appeared in the Spanish films Nobody Knows Anybody (1999) and the award winning Talk to Her (2002). Recently, she stepped into Hollywood playing Mexican housekeeper Flor Moreno in James L. Brooks' romantic comedy/drama Spanglish (2004, alongside Adam Sandler and Tea Leoni).
2. Paz Vega -- Sex And Lucia
   Though she’s only recently stepped into the spotlight, Paz Vega has been a fixture among Spanish viewers for almost a decade. Paz has appeared in such critically acclaimed foreign films as 2001’s Sex and Lucia, 2002’s Talk to Her and 2002’s The Other Side of the Bed. Her North American breakthrough came out in 2004: Spanglish, written and directed by James L. Brooks, cast Paz as a Mexican maid who comes to live with a rich American family, and there’s little doubt that the actress was more than able to hold her own opposite renowned stars Adam Sandler and Tea Leoni.
3. Spanglish -- Adam Sandler
   Spanglish is a 2004 American film written and directed by James L. Brooks, and starring Adam Sandler, Téa Leoni, Paz Vega, and Cloris Leachman. Hans Zimmer was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score. It was released in other countries over the first several months of 2005.
4. Spanglish -- Movies
   Spanglish is a warm-hearted, friendly movie, which, for some reason, has received mixed reviews. In many ways, it has the same feel as Sideways (interestingly, Thomas Haden Church has a tiny part as a real estate agent. Blink and you'll miss him). The actors convey a true connection to each other. Sarah Steele plays the overweight teen with believable emotion. Shelbie Bruce as the housekeeper's bilingual daughter who must translate for her mother and who is entranced by the Claskey's affluence, is equally endearing.
5. Maximilian Schell -- Vienna Symphony
   Maximilian Schell may not be a household name, but he is internationally respected, particularly in Europe, as an award-winning actor/director of stage and screen. He was born in Vienna, Austria, on December 8, 1930, but raised in Switzerland after his parents, Swiss author/poet Hermann Ferdinand...Read More
6. Ben Kingsley -- Movies
   Luke isn' in this clip, but Ben Kingsley does in this interesting looking dark comedy from John Dahl (Rounders, The Last Seduction). Kingsley's character ends up in A.A. and his sponsor is played by Luke Wilson. Tea Leoni is the love interest in this movie that opens in limited release this weekend.

7. Luke Wilson -- Movies
   Luke Wilson is a puzzling Hollywood case study. Every significant box office success of his career appears to have been more or less incidental to his involvement (witness Blue Streak, the Legally Blonde films and Old School), and every movie in which he’s been touted as a topliner has drastically underperformed if not flopped (witness Alex and Emma, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, Vacancy and You Kill Me).
8. David Duchovny
   David Duchovny is one of the most highly acclaimed actors in Hollywood. The star of Fox Television's monster hit The X-Files, he was nominated for an Emmy® for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series, and he was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his highly acclaimed and some say risqué appearances on The Larry Sanders Show and SEX AND THE CITY. In January 1997, Duchovny won a Golden Globe® Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. He has been nominated for a total of three Golden Globes®, three Screen Actors Guild® Awards and a TV Critic's Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
9. Woody Allen
   Woody Allen was born Allen Konigsberg on December 1, 1935, in the Bronx and grew up in Brooklyn. He changed his name to Woody Allen when at age 17 he began submitting jokes to a newspaper column, eventually attracting the attention of a publicist who hired him to write gags for his clients. After graduation, Allen enrolled in New York University as a motion picture major and then in night school at City College, but dropped out of both to pursue his career as a comedy writer. Years later he told his biographer Eric Lax that when a dean recommended he "seek psychiatric help" if he ever wanted to get a job, he replied that he was already working in show business. "Well, if you're around other crazy people," the dean conceded, "may be you won't stand out."
10. James L. Brooks -- Broadcast News
    James L. Brooks is one of the few producer-director-writers to achieve success in both TV and feature films. He's won more prime time Emmys than any person in history, and his first film, Terms of Endearment, won 11 Oscars. Brooks' credits include the landmark TV series Room 222 and The Simpsons and the features Broadcast News and Jerry Maguire. The Brooklyn native began his career as a documentary writer for CBS News and, in '84, founded Gracie Films, to oversee his projects in both mediums.
