anybody got a favorite actor for some reason?

one of my favs is josh harnett. he was suppposed to be the next big thing
years ago and for some reason he missed the boat. he's still going strong.
from his looks , it looks like he has/had an alcohol problem but i've loved his work over the years. he's a working actor and keeps busy.

I'm currently watching him on fight or flight. which is a stupid action movie but entertaining.

"they" say he decided to have a life work balance and take smaller roles and didn't want to be a heart throb.

Yeah, he's good. My kid and I just watched him in Trap. Fun movie. A little dumb, but fun.

Hard to pick a favorite, but I think I'd have to go with Jon Hamm. He's the best part of everything he's in.

Anything with Jimmy Stewart, but I like anything with John Candy or Burgess Meredith, but I love Stewart the most.

If you are a fan of Meredith, and also a fan of sci-fi, might I suggest you
check out his appearances on The Twilight Zone TV series? "Time Enough at
Last" and "The Obsolete Man" are two absolute classics. He was also in an
episode of The Night Gallery, I think it was called "The Little Black Bag,"
that was also good.

I remember some of those episodes, but my FAVORITE Meredith episode is "The Printer's Devil" where he plays Satan. Excellent performance by Burgess there. One of my favorite episodes of all time other than the episode with the depressed Professor I forget the name of (Oh and a recent episode I saw of a poor guy who randomly became Santa).

That is a pretty iconic line for sure. Even funnier coming out of
Meredith's mouth.

The Printer's Devil was the one I couldn't remember the title of. That one
is also good.

The other two you mentioned may be the two best episodes ever, and probably
two of the best Christmastime episodes of any shows. The Changing of the
Guard is the one with the professor. Ironically, although it is set at
Christmastime, it originally aired in June! The other one is the Night of
the Meek and features Art Carney as the bum/department store Santa.

Night of the Meek was remade during the 1985 revival of the
series, but I don't remember who played the bum in that one. That full
episode is on youtube as The Twilight Zone (1985) Night of the Meek. The
original is better, of course, but that version isn't bad.

Oh yeah, YT is where I saw it--it was the original. The Changing of the Guard, that's it! Great episode. I love that quote 'Be Ashamed to Die Until You've Won Some Victory for Humanity.'

That is one of the most excellent quotes from the whole series. ;)
