I just wanna share some I like a lot, or for whatever reason, have a very good feeling towards them:

Aaron Eckhart- I liked him when I first saw 'Thank You for Smoking'. He looks like a decent guy & quite comedic. It was good to see him with more exposure in Batman (Two Face). I just saw a trailer with him as a main lead with Aniston for a romance movie.

Terrance Howard- I love his emotional acting. I think he's been in many 'black' movies, but I know he was GREAT in Crash, also hilarious in Iron Man. I love his 'emotional' way about him. It's shown well in Crash and in this ad here

Don Cheadle- Another great "I'm fucking ON" type of intense actor. He wasn't special in Family Man (with Cage). I think it was in his NFL ads that he was very good in. I wish his well-deserved lead in Hotel Rwanda fared better because the movie itself just sucked. Funny enough, Cheadle and Howard were both in Crash and we know Cheadle will replace Howard in Iron Man 2.

Matt Dillon- I fucking love this guy ever since I saw him in Something About Mary. His sleazy character truly made that movie, it was hilarious. He was also absolutely amazing in the car rescue scene in Crash. Very emotional.

What are your thoughts and share your own. :)

Ehhh...he was good in Shooter and The Departed.. but he just maintains his pissed off face all the time. I'm always reminded of that Andy Samberg's SNL skit of him. "Hey say hello to your mother for me, alright?" ROFL.

Way too long and dragged on too much and anti climatic? It's reminds me of terribly long snoozefests like Thin Red Line or Walk the Line (Ray was much better).

Yeah, I like him. Some dissed his performance but I thought he was skankin' in The Departed.

I second Don Cheadle. Saw him recently in Out of Sight. He played a villain, just so damned intense and manacing!

They've all been in pretty big movies. At best, some may not know them by name, but still quite big. Terrance Howard is the only one I might say is lesser known.

I'm watching the Pretender (Great series, btw) and he's in a couple of episodes. He's good at the whole creepy antihero thing.

Bruce Campbell. I can't exactly bring myself to consider him a "lesser" actor, but I just wish I would see him in more movies.

I'm pretty sure this guy can act, it's just that all of his roles have been the exact same character... and it helps that I really like that character anyway.
