    For the record, I in no way associate Cheadle with being a one-hit wonder.

    And numerous solid supporting roles. Nothing wrong with his career

    David Strathairn was great in Good Night and Good Luck; would be nice to see him get more shots in Hollywood as a lead actor (obviously his age is against him at this point...).

    David Straithairn had a really memorable role as a blind computer geek in Sneakers, a very underappreciated movie with one of the most eclectic casts I've ever encountered: Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier, Ben Kingsley, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, among others. Straithairn was also tremendous as Eddie Cicotte in Eight Men Out. A very good actor.

    David Straithairn - Great in Memphis Belle. Another favorite movie scene of mine: his character reading the letters from the families of his soldiers who'd been killed. Also remember him from We Are Marshall. Definitely not a one-hit wonder; a really diverse actor.

    George Wendt will always be Norm.

    Christopher Reeve is Superman, end of story.

    Karen Allen - Marion in Raiders.
